There’s no mistaking the fact that AirPods Pro are widely popular earbuds, and since their debut in 2022, we’ve seen Apple steadily add new features. Some require an easy, free software update, and others – like improved noise cancellation, longer battery life, or a case that is much harder to lose – require getting the next generation.
For AirPods Pro 3, Apple’s mostly kept the now-iconic design aside from a redesigned ear-tip that uses both silicone and foam and a look that takes its cues from AirPods 4, stretched the case a bit, and oh, the engineering team managed to add in another sensor. That addition was in the form of a heart-rate sensor, which allows you to track 50 workouts with just your AirPods Pro 3 and an iPhone, or let them work alongside an Apple Watch to pick the most accurate and stable reading.
