The Galaxy Buds 2 Pro have three microphones on each earbud along with ear-detection sensors.
In addition to the iPhone 14, Apple’s may also use the event to unveil the Apple Watch Series 8, which will reportedly look similar to last year’s model but have more health features such as a fever sensor, as well as improved durability.
