Apple's about to host its Far Out event this Wednesday, and at that event, the company is expected to launch a new iPhone and possibly the long-rumoured AirPods Pro 2. Mark Gurman wrote in his Power On newsletter that it would be part of the launch this week.

The AirPods Pro 2 is expected to get the next-generation Apple H1 chip, support for either Apple's Lossless Audio Codec or Bluetooth 5.2, and an in-ear wing tip design similar to the Beats Fit Pro.

Don't expect the AirPods Pro 2 to get fitness tracking (yet)

Rumours surrounding the Apple AirPods Pro 2 suggested that the pro wireless earbuds were getting fitness tracking options. But the newest report from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman claims the feature might not be ready for this year's version of the AirPods Pro. Gurman writes in his Power On newsletter that the refreshed model is "unlikely to get heart-rate monitoring." There were rumours it could monitor body temperature, but Gurman also refutes that claim. He says Apple has reportedly been exploring the features. And it "could arrive one day."

You can still expect a new model to launch later this year, but the focus will be more on audio improvements. The battery wear of the original might also entice Apple users to upgrade. What are you hoping to see in the next AirPods Pro?
