25 May 2020
Apple is reportedly testing Ambient Light Sensors in future AirPods.

Sort by:

That one is very needed since constant bluetooth radiation is much much worse than 30 min average talk on the phone per day.

    Good thing the functionality will only be available in 5 countries and in the rest, users should go F themselves.

      Most overrated truly wireless earbuds on the market!

                  Anonymous, 25 May 2020thats a good idea. pack a lot of tech in a earphone that al... moreI believe apple can get more battery life but they are choosing not to. As long as their consumers are content they can operate at their own pace. In-house they probably already have a 6+ hour battery waiting for the next model. Always have something to keep the consumer coming back.

                        Didn't samsung Gear iconX have something similiar? It had heart rate monitor, step counter and all.

                          This is a nice example of two gimmics together being better than one.

                            thats a good idea. pack a lot of tech in a earphone that already is small enough to drain battery empty even more and faster.
