According to Macrumors, Apple expects to integrate ambient light sensors into the new airpods in the next few years, which will be produced by ASE technology, a Taiwanese company.

Macrumors pointed out in the report that the original report did not explain the purpose of these ambient light sensors. It was speculated that Apple might just use it to replace the existing optical sensors of airpods. But macrumors didn't think so. They thought that the ambient light sensor of the new airpods might be related to the health monitoring function of the earlier explosion.

According to the survey, the rumors about Apple's airpods' real health monitoring function can be traced back to the beginning of last year, when several media said that Apple would release the new airpods in the first half of the year, and carry the health monitoring function. Although Apple did release airpods 2 in March 2019, it did not include health monitoring function, which disappointed the expected fruit powder at that time.
Health has always been the focus of Apple's attention, and their first Apple watch was equipped with a heart rate monitor. Apple hopes to provide more accurate health data, through health monitoring data combined with medical supervision app, so that people can pay more attention to their own health besides watching time, sending messages and making phone calls.

Before that, if Apple users want to be able to use the health monitoring function, their only choice is to buy an Apple watch, as Tim Cook said, "health monitoring is the core of Apple watch.". But for the average person, the Apple watch series, which starts at 3000, doesn't mean you can buy it right away. Compared with the Apple watch, which is expensive to buy alone, Apple fans naturally hope that Apple can add this function to the necessities of airpods.

How to realize the function of health monitoring on headphones is also a big problem. The health monitoring function of Apple wearable products generally uses optical plethysmography, the blood absorbs green light and reflects red light, and the ambient light sensor measures blood oxygen / pulse volume by sensing red light. If this technology is applied to earphones, infrared light is usually emitted from the earlobe and received by the light sensor on the other side.

According to macrumors, the traditional airpods are earphones, which do not seem to be suitable for such functions. According to the current situation, the rumored Apple headset airpods studio seems to be more suitable for this technology, which is expected to be put into mass production in the middle of this year.
