The AirPods Pro 2, the first update to the AirPods Pro since they debuted in 2019, will launch in the fourth quarter of 2022, according to Apple analyst Ming Chi-Kuo.
In a note obtained today by MacRumors, Kuo said that the second generation AirPods Pro will launch in the last quarter of 2022. Prior reports have indicated that the AirPods are going to launch next year, but excluding one rumor suggesting a third-quarter launch, a specific timeframe has yet to be revealed. The new AirPods Pro are rumored to feature an entirely new design that does away with the stem for a design similar to the Beats Fit Pro.
The AirPods Pro 2 are also rumored to feature fitness tracking capabilities using built-in sensors and a new chip that improves connectivity with devices. Apple recently updated its AirPods line with a third-generation model that includes no advanced features such as Active Noise Cancellation or silicone ear tips, leaving the AirPods Pro next in line for an update.
Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo says the real test of today's WWDC keynote is whether Apple can deliver better AI experiences than Google using the same Gemini models.
Apple is using Google's Gemini to underpin the revamped version of Siri and new Apple Intelligence features. The key takeaway from WWDC, Kuo argues in a new post on X, will not be the short-term market reaction after the event. It...

There will never be other colors for AirPods than white -If they did, you wouldn’t immediately know that you’re looking at AirPods.
The AirPods aesthetic is iconic at this point and a key selling point for most buyers.
AirPods are just as much a fashion statement as they are consumer tech -People want to be seen wearing them just for the social capital, because everyone knows how expensive they are and that they only really work well with (equally expensive) iPhones.
Every time they release a new iteration and it’s only white they underline and cement the design and branding of AirPods.
It’s like those Louboutin womens high heels that all have the same red soles.
Creating a line of products that every consumer understands what is, can name instantly name, and wants to buy is every entrepreneur’s wet dream.
In fact, there’s no Bluetooth standard out there to transfer that much data wirelessly to tiny earbuds at all.
There is. aptX Lossless. Supposed to launch at the end of the year.
But i wouldn't be surprised if Apple makes their own standard. They make their own Bluetooth chips and likely don't want to pay Qualcomm any more than they already have to.
Of course they will probably make you buy a new iPhone and Airpods ;)
Apple's first foldable iPhone, with a book-style design featuring a ~5.5-inch outer display and a ~7.8-inch inner display with a minimal crease down the middle.
