Apple’s AirPods Pro 3 add on‑ear heart‑rate sensors that use photoplethysmography to capture pulse data during workouts and periodic checks. The earbuds work with an iPhone’s Health and Fitness apps, as well as third‑party fitness apps, to display live heart‑rate readings and calculate calories burned.
