Later this year, the AirPods Pro 2 could be released alongside the iPhone 14 series.

Apple hasn’t updated the AirPods Pro in a long time. The first-generation AirPods Pro debuted three years ago, with features like active noise cancellation, sweat resistance, and, later, spatial listening, thanks to an update. Those who purchased AirPods Pro early on are experiencing battery issues because they have been around for a long time. In other words, they’ve been waiting for an upgrade, and it appears that they’ll get it this year. Apple is expected to release the AirPods Pro 2 later this year, as well as new colorways for the AirPods Max headphones around the same time.

The successor to the AirPods Pro could arrive this fall in the United States, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, who is a reliable source of information about Apple and its products. That means sometime in September, October, or November, around the same time as the iPhone 14 series launches. As a result, Apple’s fall event could be jam-packed with new products.

The Apple AirPods Pro 2, or whatever Apple’s top-end truly wireless earbuds end up being called, will still support active noise-cancellation, but the quality will be much better than the current model, according to Gurman.

The AirPods Pro 2 could feature significant design changes. Apple might remove the stem from its earbuds to create something that looks a lot like Galaxy Buds or Pixel Buds. In the absence of a stem, the earbuds’ tip will need to be wider to accommodate touch controls. Support for lossless audio files would be a significant upgrade for the AirPods Pro. Because Apple Music already supports lossless files, it makes sense for the upcoming AirPods Pro to do the same, even if streaming those files over a wireless connection might be a little tricky.

Apple is also expected to release new colour options for the AirPods Max at the same time as the AirPods Pro 2. Since the AirPods Max has been available since 2019, it makes sense for Apple to release new colours. While the new colours will give the AirPods Max a much-needed refresh, Gurman expects the headphones’ price to drop. “$550 for those headphones is absurd,” Gurman wrote in his note. The AirPods Max costs Rs 66,100 in India.

Gurman is mostly correct, but we never know what Apple has in store for its products, or if the AirPods Pro 2 and AirPods Max price drop are real. We’ll find out the official word on launch day, which will be later this year. live television
