Health continues being a major focus area for Apple, not only on Apple Watch but also now AirPods Pro.

Finally, in the largest new global expansion, users across India now have access to two additional health features:
Hearing Test requires AirPods Pro 3 or AirPods Pro 2. Sleep apnea notifications require Apple Watch Series 9 or later, Apple Watch Ultra 2, or Apple Watch SE 3
