According to the latest rumor on the a**nymous sharing app Secret (http://mashable.com/category/secret/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_medium=feed&utm_source=rss), a future version of Apple's EarPods (http://mashable.com/category/earpods/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_medium=feed&utm_source=rss) will include sensors to measure heart rate and blood pressure

The rumor further claims that the new EarPods will act as a gateway product for a future Apple wearable, likely k**wn as the iWatch (http://mashable.com/category/iwatch/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_medium=feed&utm_source=rss).

Any rumor posted on Secret should be taken with a ***** of salt — indeed, as should any Apple rumor. But this one has the force of Apple's patents behind it
