Will Apple Launch New AirPods in 2023?
There have been just a few small rumors about some brand-new AirPods, so it’s likely that Apple isn’t focusing on them right now.
There’s a good chance the AirPods Pro 2 will get a small refresh next week to add a USB-C charging case to the package, but the earbuds are expected to remain unchanged. There’s also a chance we could see Apple unveil AirPods 4 next week to add USB-C charging and the H2 chip to support the new iOS 17 features.
While there haven’t been many rumors about them, everyone also agrees that the AirPods Max could definitely use an update. Despite their premium price tag, the current AirPods Max will miss out on a lot of key iOS 17 features that are exclusive to the AirPods Pro 2, like Adaptive Transparency.
While there haven’t been many rumors about them, we expect—and hope—to see the second-generation AirPods Max sooner rather than later.
Lastly, there have also been rumors about a pair of more affordable AirPods that people are calling the “AirPods Lite.” Rumor has it that these AirPods will cost $99 and will be pretty much basic Bluetooth earbuds.
