The Apple Watch can currently track a wearer's respiratory rate thanks to its built-in accelerometer. The Apple Vision Pro also has an accelerometer built in to the hardware.
Apple is expected to announce the next Apple Vision Pro operating system, visionOS 2, at WWDC. There's no word yet on whether a respiratory tracking feature will be included in any Apple Vision Pro–related announcements. However, the discovery of this code is interesting nonetheless, as it shows that plans for such capabilities may very well be on the horizon.
Apple has struggledwith Vision Pro sales as of late, with the company apparently revising its shipment expectations for the year. This new feature likely won't move units off of store shelves on its own. But, let's see what else Apple has in store for the headset at WWDC.
