4 Next-Gen AirPods
While nothing is set-in-stone at present, at least one credible report has hinted that Apple could release an updated pair of AirPods sometime during the second-half of 2018. KGI Securities Ming-Chi Kuo previously speculated that Apple’s next-generation AirPod wireless earbuds could boast “a smaller quartz component” in relation to the current AirPods, along with upgraded internals like a W2 chip, larger batteries, water resistance and better Bluetooth connectivity.
Apple is also slated to release a new inductive wireless charging case for its current AirPods alongside the aforementioned AirPower charging mat — allowing users to charge their truly wireless earbuds on the AirPower pad instead instead of via the Lightning-connected case.
