Apple's new headphones or built-in motion sensor

Recently, the Re/code website has brought a bad news: Apple will not launch iWatch at WWDC 2014. But it is certain that Apple will enter the health technology field almost 100%. The previously leaked iOS 8 application Healthbook is The best proof. So, if you don't pass iWatch, what accessories will Apple use to monitor and acquire data? It is rumored that the new generation of Apple EarPods headphones will integrate sensors to detect user heart rate and blood pressure. Due to the need for Lightning interface support, This is also why the audio interface after the iPhone 5 is designed under the fuselage.

Turning the headset into a motion monitoring device is a bit of a surprise, right? In fact, as early as 2008, Apple applied for a patent, which describes the use of headphones to monitor physiological data; while LG has released heart rate monitoring headphones. As a part of its Lifeband to achieve more comprehensive data acquisition.

Obviously, the form of the earphone is very easy to carry. In addition, when people use the iPhone to go out for running, they almost always wear headphones to listen to music. If the sensor is integrated on the earphone, the user can be lightly loaded without having to carry another smart wearer. equipment.

It sounds like another "iWatch", but it's cheaper and very popular (as an iPhone 6 standard accessory), and maybe a tool for Apple to test the wearable market. Of course, everything is still rumored. At the stage, perhaps WWDC 2014 will disappoint us, but considering that "Healthbook" will be an important new feature of iOS 8, and access to physiological data obviously requires new gadgets, so whether it is iWatch or a new EarPods headset with sensors, Or a new sports wristband that works with Nike, there will be more detailed information, so look forward to it.
