We've been saying for a long time that Apple could launch a second version of the popular AirPods shortly and this may be a reality by next year. In this update or renewal of the AirPods it is expected that the charging box will be wireless and little else but in the not too distant future we could see important changes in the AirPods with symmetry between them and with more sensors inside.
Yes, a new Apple patent registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, warns that the AirPods of the future could be symmetrical so they would be the same. With this we will be able use both headphones in the same way in each of our ears without having to exactly place the AirPods in our right or left ear depending on the headset.
More biometric sensors for AirPods
In addition, another of the points shown in this new patent explains that the interior sensors could improve in terms of the collection of information about our movement And this would be an added plus to obtain more health data and add it to what we already have thanks to the iPhone or Apple Watch itself.
Currently there are some headphones that add a good handful of sensors to obtain information about our physical activity, such as The Dash Pro by Bragi, These headphones are capable of measuring training without the need for other data due to the biometric sensors that they add inside. Apple could do a similar job on its new AirPods by carrying out the recently approved patent. In this case the rumors and data leaked these weeks warn that new AirPods are expected for next year 2020 and it is possible that in that year we can see some of these novelties in them.
