Reports suggest that Apple is gearing up to unveil two new models of its popular AirPods 4 in the coming months, with a possible launch window set for September or October.
Apple might discontinue the second and third-generation AirPods after launching the new AirPods 4 models
Leaks suggest a design refresh for the AirPods 4. This could mean a more comfortable fit and a look that seamlessly integrates with your Apple ecosystem. Here’s some of the rumor roundup:
Enhanced audio experience
The AirPods 4 are expected to deliver an improved audio experience. This could translate to richer sound quality, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in your favorite music, podcasts, and audiobooks.
USB-C charging
The new AirPods 4 charging case is rumored to adopt the more universally compatible USB-C port. This means easier charging on the go, eliminating the need to carry around a separate cable for your AirPods.
Two AirPods flavors
Here’s where things get interesting. Gurman’s report suggests Apple might release two tiers of AirPods 4. The premium model is expected to boast Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) technology, a feature that effectively blocks out ambient noise for an uninterrupted listening experience.
The premium model might also come with a nifty “Find My” integration for the charging case. No more frantic searches under the couch cushions – a simple ping through the Find My app will help you locate your misplaced AirPods case.
Older AirPods discontinue
The rumor mill also churns out the possibility of Apple discontinuing the second and third-generation AirPods after launching the new models. This isn’t entirely surprising, as Apple tends to streamline its product lines as newer versions emerge.
While these leaks paint a promising picture, it’s important to remember that they haven’t been officially confirmed by Apple. However, Mark Gurman has a history of reliable Apple leaks, so there’s good reason to be excited.
