Second-generation AirPods Pro rumored again to launch in the fall
Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has reiterated his earlier reports about Apple’s second-generation AirPods Pro, sharing in this week’s edition of his “Power On” newsletter that he expects the new premium earbuds to launch in the fall, likely alongside new colors for the high-end over-ear AirPods Max.
“The current model has been on the market since fall of 2019, so the batteries are already probably in trouble for some early adopters,” writes Gurman, referring to the first-generation AirPods Pro that launched in October that year. “Look out for new AirPods Pro in the fall.”
Rumors have long speculated on what upgrades Apple will introduce with its next-gen AirPods Pro. Rumors have suggested that the earbuds will feature a major redesign, with the iPhone maker expected to remove the short stem found on the current models to give the earbuds a similar design to the Beats Fit Pro which sit inside a listener’s ear without any overhang, an improved chip, and health monitoring features.
Reports have suggested that the new AirPods Pro will have support for Lossless Audio, something that currently requires a wired connection to headphones, receivers or powered speakers to listen to music without traditional audio compression, allowing listeners to hear songs more clearly and as the artist intended.
