Apple Executive Hints at Using AirPods to Provide Users More Health Data

[SnowFox20]

This is awesome!

I would love to see Apple expand additional health features into AirPods

I currently have the AirPods Pro but if Apple adds additional health features, I definitely will get the new version

Agree, however there would have to be a redesign for me… AirPod Pros are the only Apple headphones that I can NOT get to stay in my ears if I’m moving around.

Sounds dumb, just concentrate on battery life and get me through a meeting without the worry of having a corded headset at the ready! Make the battery replaceable too!

All this health tech stuff has such limited impact. Unless your Apple watch is going to bother you to eat some broccoli and less saturated fats, it's trivial and simply a way of trying to maintain a premium price when the cheap buds have caught up

From videos, it doesn’t seem like Craig Fed can either.

I don't want Apple headphones to spy on me. Stop with this already.

Man I worry for you if you think this when you listen to any of the first 5 interviews with Snowden about government spying.

Don't worry about me so much as yourself with your apparent lack of care for your privacy.

um... I care about my privacy. As far as headphones with sensors:
- have sensors to know if plugged in or not (not all apps use the wireless headset microphones anyway ~ DuoLingo as an example),
- can read heart-rate like 2 jabra headphones (1 discontinued in 2019),

Are not in anyway 'spying' on you. How about have a reason first before talking about stopping of spying for a product that doesn't yet exist or exhibits what you fear?
