According to some information published by an alleged employee Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), fired last week by the company, Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), would prepare to launch a new model of helmets EarPods, them having biometric sensors integrated. These sensors would be able to monitor heartbeats and blood pressure, having integrated a chip Bluetooth which allows localization through iBeacons. Moreover, these headphones will also be connected to the Lightning port to provide information, so we are talking about a rather radical change.
Apple's new EarPods will have sensors in them, for heart rate & blood pressure. Also iBeacons so they don't get lost. They will require the lightning port, that's why the audio jack was moved to the bottom.
Considering that the information does not come from a relatively safe source, it must be viewed with the usual dose of mistrust because in the end it could turn out to be completely false. Most of the information that has appeared so far indicates that Apple could integrate its new sensors in iWatch or even in iPhone 6, so the implementation in EarPods seems as unlikely as possible at this point, but considering that we are talking about Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),, everything is possible.
UPDATED: It seems that the data stored by these new headsets in applications would be transmitted and encrypted in a similar way to that used for Touch ID. Moreover, the new EarPods should contain an additional microphone for more effective elimination of ambient noises, the remote control of the headphones having a redesigned design.
It stores the data in a similar way to thumbprint point data, fully encrypted and nothing identifiable. But nice to send to your doctor to keep track of at which point your blood pressure started rising for example. […]
Redesigned remote too. Extra small for better noise cancelling.
