Apple AirPods Pro 2 could get updated H1 chip, heart rate detection: Report

Apple’s AirPods Pro are long overdue for an upgrade, and it has been reported that the new earbuds could make an appearance this year. A new report has now given a closer look at some of the upcoming features for the AirPods Pro 2. A previous report in Bloomberg said the new AirPods Pro and an upgraded AirPods Max will launch in 2022. It has also been reported that the new AirPods Max could sport more colour options when they launch.

According to a report on 52Audio, the new TWS buds will come with the H1 chip in an upgraded form factor and a USB-C port for charging. This would mean Apple is doing away with the Lightning charging port, which has been standard on these devices so far.
