Apple is rumored to be working on new AirPods Pro that are expected to release before the end of next year, featuring an all-new design and a ‘significantly upgraded’ chip.
According to TF International Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo who published a note to investors earlier this month, Apple’s next-generation AirPods Pro are forecast to arrive in the last quarter of 2022, with earlier insights from Kuo suggesting that the earbuds will bring “innovative AirPods experience[s],” which could hint at earlier rumors of the earbuds introducing new health-monitoring features, such as a small accelerometer that could potentially determine body movement or something that could help a user monitor fitness while wearing their AirPods.
The second-generation AirPods Pro are expected to receive a major redesign, with Apple rumored to remove the short stem and give the earbuds a similar design to the Beats Fit Pro which sit inside a listener’s ear without any overhang.
