Every year in September, Apple introduces its new iPhones. This time, the headphones called “AirPods” are also supposed to get an update. That is known.
Apple’s in-ear earphones AirPods 2 came onto the market in 2019, two years later the iPhone company released the successor AirPods 3. Apple continues to offer both models – the AirPods 2 as an entry-level model for 149 euros and the AirPods 3 as a mid-range model for 199 euros.
Next month, Apple plans to replace both devices with a new generation. This is reported by the well-known “Bloomberg” reporter Mark Gurman. According to the report, the company also plans to bring the AirPods 4 onto the market in two versions: an entry-level model and a slightly better equipped and more expensive version of the earphones.
The most obvious difference: Only the mid-range model of the AirPods 4 is said to have active noise cancellation – also called Active Noise Cancelling (ANC). According to Gurman, both devices have a similar design.
The website “9to5mac” reports that both versions can be charged via USB-C – although the magazine assumes that only the more expensive devices support wireless charging. This is the case with the current AirPod models.
Gurman did not comment further on the current top model, AirPods 2 Pro. These gadgets are only expected to receive an update later. The earphones came onto the market in 2022. A year later, the devices received a USB-C port, which replaced the Lightning port.
There are also new rumors about the iPhone 16. The Pro version of the Apple smartphone is said to be released in a new additional color variant in addition to the white, black and silver versions. As several leakers report, it is a dark gold that is called “Titan Desert”.
Apple is expected to unveil its new iPhones in September 2024. In recent years, sales of the devices started just a few weeks later.
