AirPods Pro 2 No Longer Expected to Feature Built-In Heart Rate or Body Temperature Sensor

I just want usb c. I want to reduce my cords.

AirPods Pro case is already USB-C. (and MagSafe)

Not surprised. It would have made the AirPods Pro too expensive with a functionality that may not be that useful.

I should note that the current AirPods Pro charging case is only Lightning-connector compatible for wired charging.

I would like air pods to include those two features, could take off Apple watch for training in a gym. I don't understand why people wouldn't want extra features if they never throttled the performance of the pods. I would upgrade my iPod Pro's and buy new if they came with it. I don't have a Apple watch, I have a Garmin Fenix 7 which I am delighted with.

I'm confused by your contradiction.

I suspect the sensors would always be on, impacting the battery, but turning off the feature only turns off transmitting the data.

I think the AirPods Pro cases are still lightning. There may be an update coming, but you can’t currently buy one with USB-C, right?

Apple's site says that the case is Lightning.

You almost had me by throwing in the MagSafe part it almost looked like you knew what you were talking about. I’m curious why my lightning cable keeps charging my case? Weird.

My bad - you are right! I have them plugged into a USB-C to Lightning cable - brain fart thinking they were USB-C on both ends.

I see no contradiction, just a statement of fact. Perhaps you misread my post. If I had included the word "I" at the beginning of the part you bolded, I could understand your confusion and see the contradiction.

You're right, I apologize.
