Apple Introduced Its New Products and Released the iOS 18 RC Update

Apple, at its recent “It’s Glowtime” event, introduced its highly anticipated new products while also presenting the iOS 18 RC update to users. This update comes with many innovations and improvements, while also drawing attention to some hints.

Research conducted on the iOS 18 RC update shows that Apple is testing health sensors on its wireless headphones. The discovered codes also confirm previous leaks that Apple may launch a new generation AirPods Pro model with health sensors next year. According to a report by 9To5Mac, the codes in the iOS 18 RC update reveal that a series of health features are being worked on.

In the latest beta version, a code related to the heart rate sensor was detected. The code includes a directive stating, “Wear both earbuds to track your heart rate during workouts and send it to Apple Health. Manage in Bluetooth settings.” This directive stands out as part of the system component that offers the capability to adjust Apple’s wireless headphones like AirPods and Beats.

In addition to these developments, rumors suggest that the next generation AirPods, set to be released in 2025, will not be the only headphones equipped with health sensors. It is also noted that Apple plans to add health sensors to its next generation Powerbeats Pro model. These innovations seem to strengthen Apple’s goals in the field of health technologies.
