“BAD NEWS” as leaker says Apple delaying the launch of several new products
Leaker Jon Prosser has warned that “BAD NEWS” is on the horizon as several new products rumored to be announced next week at Apple’s “Hi, Speed” special event have been pushed back as far as March 2021.
Starting a “late-night leak dump” on Twitter last night, Prosser kicked off by claiming AirTags, the small trackers that will allow users to find valuables such as wallets, backpacks, and keys in the Find My app on iOS, iPadOS, and macOS, have now been pushed back for launch in March 2021, after it was widely rumored the new devices would make an appearance next week.
Prosser then went on to claim that Apple’s new over-ear AirPods Studio headphones, which again were rumored to be announced next week, won’t be unveiled before the end of the month as expected, suggesting the headphones will be $350 and $599 when they eventually arrive.
Stand by for BAD NEWS 😳

It’s unclear when Apple will unveil the new AirPods Studio headphones, but whispers speculate that Apple will host another special event in November, which could see the introduction of the over-ear wearables alongside new ARM Mac models.
Prosser now suggests that next week’s “Hi, Speed” event will only be for Apple’s four new iPhone 12 models, alongside the rumored “HomePod mini,” which a separate report earlier today claimed would be priced from $99.
