The health monitoring function allows AirPods to monitor heart rate, steps, and health, as well as to detect head movement.

There are also rumors that Apple will launch the third-generation standard version of AirPods. Which is planned to be launched in the first half of 2021. Guo initially stated that the appearance of the third-generation “AirPods” will be similar to the current AirPods without any design changes.
