Powerbeats Pro 2 adding Apple Fitness support, better heart rate monitoring, more with iOS 26
Holy crap this update is huge for Powerbeats 2! To save a click article: AirPods Pro 3 debuted this week with new heart rate monitoring features. This launch follows the debut of Powerbeats Pro 2, which launched in February as Apple’s first pair of earbuds with heart monitoring capabilities. Now, Be

Shockingly Bad Powerbeats Pro 2
Bought these from Apple on the day of release a few months ago. I wish there was one single good thing I can say about this after trying everything. Ended up buying Bose QC Ultra yesterday. Shame on Apple to release such an inferior product at this price point.

Apple Still Planning AirPods With Tiny Cameras
As someone who trail runs and sometimes wears gloves, I love the idea of this. It would be nice to be able to swipe vertically for volume or horizontally to skip tracks. On the other hand, I'm still a little numb from when Apple attempted to put a heart rate sensor on the PowerBeats Pro 2.

Works with AirPods Pro 3, Apple Watch, Powerbeats Pro 2 and 3rd party bluetooth heart rate monitors.
When Apple announced heart rate sensing in the AirPods Pro 3, I had this idea: what if your heartbeat could be the meditation? Ju

I would pay £10 for a working Apple Watch app
Love overcast iPhone app. Been using it for 5 years and the watch app for a few years. I have Apple Watch cellular series 8 and used to love knowing that I could stream new episodes and that it worked reliably. Now it rarely downloads my smart playlist correctly, it jumps back minutes if I so much a

Powerbeats Pro 2 - worth buying yet in Aug 25?
Checking in to see if firmware updates have made these sound better and fixed the issues with the heartbeat sensor on iPhone?
Batteries in my original Powerbeats Pro are unreliable and I need a replacement soon, not hugely keen on white electronics of the AirPods Pro and like the around ear securit

iOS/watchOS 26 - voice cues now route from watchOS through iOS in Apple Fitness runs
Hi fellow Runnas,
Like many Apple Watch users, I’ve wrestled with whether I should use the Runna app on my Apple Watch or the native Fitness app with the run structure imported from Runna. I ultimately settled on the following solution:
- Apple Fitness app for conversational paced runs
- Runna app for

DC rainmakers review of the power Beats Pro… it’s bad
He's being far too kind. The heart rate sensor is definitely one of the offensively worst hardware features I can think of on any product Apple has ever released. The product would definitely be better without it, both in terms of cost and in terms of size/weight. I wish I could get a refund for the

Apple Still Planning AirPods With Tiny Cameras
Usually, yes, but I don't like using Siri in areas where other people may be on the trail to respect their peace and quiet. Sorry, but let me bash the PowerBeats Pro 2 again... While they have the same accelerometer sensor hardware as the AirPods Pro 2, it lacks the software to do gestures. So when
