Future Apple AirPods could track biometrics, support noise cancellation

Recently uncovered trademark filings reveal that future AirPods could incorporate “wellness features” and noise cancellation. The previous filing simply described “audio components and accessories” and a mention that AirPods are a “sound recording and reproducing apparatus,” among other things. The new trademark filings add “health, fitness, exercise and wellness sensors” to the list. The report speculates that the AirPods could work closely with the Apple Watch in this regard, which makes sense given the imminent onset of 5G networking, which is specifically designed for streamlining data use for IoT devices.
