‘AirPods Studio’
We’ve been hearing about Apple working on its own over-ear headphones for about two years now, but Apple’s plans have only started to come into focus more recently, with reports as far back as February suggesting that they could now be right around the corner, and reliable sources even revealing a possible name last month, along with reports that production has already begun.
Prolific leaker Jon Prosser suggested back in April that these should have been on the slate for a WWDC announcement, and while everything we’ve seen still suggests that they’re almost ready for release, it’s possible that Apple just didn’t feel they were worthy of presentation time, at least not at the already busy WWDC.
We’re still sure they’re coming this year, and Apple could simply announce them via press release over the summer, as it did with all of its AirPods last year, or it could save them for its September iPhone 12 event.
