Apple has "healthier" plans for its AirPods. While the tech major has already made clear that they are not just an audio device (the second-generation AirPods can be used as hearing aids), it is planning to integrate more health features into them. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, the third-generation device —rumoured to be called AirPods Pro 3 — could be used for heart rate monitoring, as a temperature sensor, and tracking various physiological aspects. While still in "early development," Gurman acknowledged that heart rate monitoring may be included in AirPods Pro 3. They are anticipated to arrive in 2025, so the health features may get a reveal sometime soon. While the ability for the AirPods to track a user's heart rate is one of Apple's challenges, the other presumably would be how another health tracking gadget will add to the company's repertoire of health devices. The iPhone and Apple Watch already have health monitoring features, and Gurman mentioned that users who wish to track heart rate may not have to look at the Apple Watch. How Apple integrates the AirPods into its health tech ecosystem while sustaining the relevance of all devices remains to be seen. AirPods Pro 3 might also be the first audio product from the company’s stable to use Apple Intelligence. The future AirPods could have built-in cameras that could “be used to capture data that would be processed by AI and assist people in their daily routines.” The cameras will allow Apple Intelligence to visually comprehend the surroundings, similar to Apple’s recently unveiled Visual Intelligence feature in the iPhone 16 series. Apple may install a new H3 chip in the AirPods Pro 3 to power Apple Intelligence. This could allow for other capabilities, including health-related ones. Along with hearing assistance capabilities of the AirPods Pro 2, the updated device could include a new temperature sensor for more precise body temperature readings and other health sensors. The company is also anticipated to make the current audio capabilities of the AirPods, including adaptive transparency and noise reduction, even better.

By Clarissa-Jan Lim Former Rep. Matt Gaetz’s reputation and political prospects may take a nosedive in the wake of the release of the House Ethics Committee’s report , but several MAGA figures are standing by the Florida Republican. On his “War Room” podcast hours after the report’s release Monday, Steve Bannon, a former Trump White House aide, dismissed the report as a “nothing burger” and urged Gaetz to return to Congress. “Take the ethics report and shove it up your a--. That’s what I think,” Bannon said. “Gaetz must return like Trump returned. Don’t back down, double down.” The committee said in its report that it found “substantial evidence” that Gaetz had violated House rules, as well as state and federal laws, while serving in Congress, including that he “regularly” paid women for sex and bought or possessed illegal drugs including cocaine and ecstasy. Gaetz has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing and noted that a separate Justice Department investigation into allegations of sex trafficking ended with no charges. Gaetz has said he will not join the next Congress in January despite winning re-election in November, and he is due to begin hosting a political talk show on One America News Network. At a Turning Point USA convention over the weekend, he floated running for Florida governor or for Sen. Marco Rubio’s seat in the U.S. Senate. Although much of MAGA world raged against the committee’s findings and its decision to release a report on a former member, others have downplayed the committee’s findings and its potential impact on Gaetz’s political future. Florida state Rep. Juan Porras praised Gaetz on X as “one of the most prominent fighters” in the GOP and derided the ethics committee’s findings as “opposition research disguised as an ethics report.” “I stand with him and hope to see him continue his public service in the future,” he wrote. Florida state Sen. Joe Gruters, whom President-elect Donald Trump has backed for treasurer of the Republican National Committee , told Politico that the report’s release was an “attempt to damage [Gaetz’s] reputation by those with personal or political grievances against him.” Gaetz, he said, “continues to have a bright future in elected office, or any other path he chooses to pursue.” Clarissa-Jan Lim is a breaking/trending news blogger for MSNBC Digital.
