Updated H1 chip: The updated H1 chip is expected to feature an upgraded SiP packaging system and adaptive noise cancellation, including performance and power consumption improvements.

Find Me: AirPods Pro 2 is expected to support Find My, allowing users to locate the headset using the Find My app. It was previously rumored that there would be a speaker on the headphone case, allowing them to produce sound if they were lost.

Heart rate detection: It was previously reported that a health sensor will appear in the AirPods Pro 2, and 52Audio claims that the headset will be able to detect heart rate from the ear.

Temperature detection: The heart rate sensor may also support temperature detection, but 52Audio says it cannot confirm.

Audio improvements: The AirPods Pro 2 will have similar audio improvements to the AirPods 3, with a “custom combination of high-amplitude drivers and high-dynamic-range amplifiers.” Adaptive equalization, spatial audio with dynamic head tracking and audio sharing, and more will also be included.

USB-C: The AirPods Pro 2 will use a USB-C interface instead of Lightning, which is also in line with the changing trend of Apple products.

Hearing aid functionality: 52Audio claims the AirPods Pro 2 will work as a hearing aid. The earphones can “collect sound through the headphone box and transmit it to the earphones for sound enhancement and playback”, with the aim of helping people with hearing loss to hear sounds in their environment better. The website believes that the lanyard hole previously described as the side of the AirPods Pro 2 is actually some kind of hearing aid opening.
