Body temperature sensing technology is believed to be the headline upgrade offered by the Apple Watch Series 8 when it debuts at Apple's "Far out" event next week. After over a year of reports about the iPhone 14 lineup, several once-believed rumors are no longer expected to come true when the devices are unveiled this week.

Sadly, the AirPods Pro 2 are still Lightning dependent. Apple has extended the battery life to a much-needed six hours. The original AirPods Pro had a rated battery life of 4.5 hours. The H1 chip which gave the OG AirPods a serious boost has been retired in favor of the new H2 chip. However, the AirPods Pro 2 are nearly identical to their predecessors. The first is the addition of a small speaker near the bottom which will play a loud sound when Find My is activated, making it that much easier to find the wayward case.

On the Spatial Audio front, Apple says the AirPods Pro now have personalized Spatial Audio that creates a more tailored listening experience for your ears. Additionally, the case now has a built-in speaker, which allows it to play sounds for use with Apple's precision Find My feature. The noise canceling is also improved -- Apple says the new AirPods have "double" the noise canceling of the original AirPods Pro. I also thought the earbuds sounded cleaner and clearer than the original AirPods Pro while listening to a few tracks on Apple's iPhone 14 demo phones. With the original AirPods Pro, for example, Apple didn't introduce Spatial Audio until months after they were released. 9, with the first sets of the new earbuds beginning to ship on Sept.

The AirPods Pro 2 — or AirPods Pro (2nd generation) — promise stronger performance and better battery life, plus convenient upgrades to the charging case.

My favorite part of my hands-on time with AirPods Pro 2 was watching how Active Noise Cancellation helped control the sound levels reaching my ears. Spatial Audio can also be upgraded to Personalized Spatial Audio with the AirPods Pro 2. The AirPods Pro 2 design changes instead can be seen on the charging case. Listening to a sample track, the AirPods Pro 2 bass has noticeably better weight, though again, this requires more in-depth testing. All the AirPods Pro 2 cases I checked out featured engraved emojis, though now Memojis can be etched on the front of the case to offer some fun personalization. In the meantime, the older AirPods Pro can usually be found on sale with the Keep in mind we gave that pair a rare 5/5 star rating, so there's plenty of anticipation for how the buds will fare in full testing. I did get a good sense of the new touch controls. Using the TrueDepth camera on iPhone, you can establish a personal listening profile for pretty much all existing listening experiences that support Spatial Audio. Then, on the side, the AirPods Pro case has a divot where you can attach a lanyard loop. Multiple ear tips are still included, and are easy enough to swap and gauge with the Ear Tip Fit Test. They last longer, perform stronger and come with some clever changes that could make some of the

Preorders for the 2022 AirPods Pro model commence on Sept.

The second-generation AirPods Pro looks just like the original model but brings some incremental upgrades for the same price.

The new charging case of the second-generation AirPods Pro is dust and water-resistant, just like the earbuds. What's even better is that despite these improvements, the new AirPods Pro carries the same $249 price tag as its predecessor. If you have an iPhone with a U1 chip, you can use the Precision Finding feature in the Find My app to get the exact location of the AirPods Pro. If you order the AirPods Pro 2 online through the Apple Store, you can even engrave your favorite Memoji on the charging case. The charging case can further extend this to up to 30 hours. And to accept phone calls or control music playback, you need to press the stem lightly. Unlike the original AirPods Pro, you don't need to press the stem to adjust the music playback or volume. While they are not as sleek as some other wireless earbuds on the market, Apple has thoroughly revamped the internals to deliver better sound quality, battery life, and user experience. This will allow the earbuds to passively block more noise, indirectly boosting the ANC performance and sound quality. What's the point of great sound quality if the earbuds keep falling from your ears? The bass is also richer, with a wider sound stage that helps improve the overall clarity. However, the new earbuds pack some hardware changes that make them better in every aspect than their predecessor.

These really look like a challenger to our list of the This feature landed on the latest iteration of the 'standard' AirPods, and it'll be interesting if it works better on the new Pro 2 earbuds, The AirPods Pro 2 aren't cheap, much like their predecessors, but what's on offer is a real step forward. The ease with which they'll connect to all your Apple gadgets would be enough for most people to buy them, but the fact you're getting much-enhanced audio, better noise canceling, volume control and more make them an easy buy... The rest of the soundscape feels wide and expansive, but 'rich' is the best adjective we can use when listening to these new AirPods Pro 2. While it remains very good on the original AirPods Pro, it's been overtaken by other rivals in the three years since launch – but thanks to the H2 chip on board, now you can barely hear things you don't want to when ANC is turned on. These are an acoustic vent and a speaker, so if you lose your AirPods Pro 2, you can activate a 'Find My' request from your phone to find them. To change volume significantly requires multiple 'strokes' of the headphones, and it would have been great to have a situation where longer strokes will raise or lower the volume quicker, or perhaps you could stroke and hold for continuous raising and lowering. While gripping the stalks, slide a finger up or down the ridge, which can register your touch through the new capacitive surface. Apple is also claiming that, thanks to the H2 chip, it can offer 'Adaptive Transparency' automatically. Voice processing happens so much more naturally now, with it possible to hold a conversation without even realizing you're wearing Apple's new earbuds – although you might seem tremendously rude. If you're going to buy these to show off that you've got the latest Apple gear, you'll be rather deflated by the result.
