Adding more shortcuts or tap gestures for workouts and activity monitoring could be smart, and would it be possible for AirPods to recognize when you’re starting to run or exercise? The AirPods Pro have gyros and accelerometers that could unlock more movement and positional awareness. Next-gen AirPods Pro might push into this territory more, but hopefully the third-gen AirPods will, too.
It’s unlikely that Apple will add actual health-tracking sensors, like step counting or heart rate, to the AirPods. But the Apple Watch and AirPods should form even more of a symbiotic pair. Heart rate and fitness readings, maybe even deeper watch control with AirPods commands. But it should be noted that ears are a pretty good place to measure heart rate.
