Apple Debuts AirPods Pro 3 With Pulse Monitoring, Better Fit

Apple Inc. introduced its first new AirPods Pro model in three years, adding new health-tracking features, live translation capabilities, improved noise cancellation and a better fit.

The new device — priced at $249 — will feature a heart-rate monitor, allowing the earbuds to work with an iPhone to track a wearer’s pulse and measure calories burned during exercise. And battery life will improve from six hours to eight hours when playing music, according to the company, which unveiled the product at its iPhone 17 launch event on Tuesday.
