Apple is expected to release the AirPods Pro 2 alongside the [iPhone 14](https://bgr.com/tech/apple-iphone-14-news/) this fall. The new premium wireless earphones should deliver several improvements over their predecessors, not just when it comes to the music/audio experience. A [recent report](https://bgr.com/tech/airpods-pro-2-leak-tips-heart-rate-monitor-usb-c-and-hearing-aid/) claimed the AirPods Pro 2 will feature a heart rate monitor, hearing aid functionality, and a USB-C port instead of Lightning connectivity.

Another leaker now says that report was accurate. The new AirPods Pro 2 will reportedly introduce USB-C connectivity ahead of the iPhone 15’s expected switch to USB-C next year.
