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

Garmin detects Powerbeats Pro 2 as HR sensor but won’t connect + issue with treadmill

My Garmin watch detects my Powerbeats Pro 2 as a heart rate sensor, but it won’t connect.

However, when I connect the Powerbeats to the treadmill, they lose the Bluetooth connection to my phone. This means I can’t listen to music while using them as a heart rate sensor.

Has anyone found a way to m
