Roundup: Here are the latest rumors on when to expect new AirPods, AirPods Pro, and AirPods Max<\/div>\n
\n
\n

With a successful AirPods line, it\u2019s only natural for users to wonder when Apple will release a new generation of the AirPods, AirPods Pro, and AirPods Max. Head below as we round up the latest rumors on when expecting a new version of each of these products\u2026<\/p>\n

<\/span>\n\t\t<\/p>\n

When will Apple launch AirPods Pro 2?<\/h2>\n

For the next AirPods Pro model, Bloomberg\u2019s <\/em>Mark Gurman reported in his Power On <\/em>newsletter that Apple will launch AirPods Pro 2 this year with a new design and new fitness tracking features: <\/p>\n

\n

\u201cApple has been testing a new design with an even shorter stern or no stern at all, plus new motion sensor for fitness.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

With that, Apple\u2019s next wireless earbuds could look similar to the Beats Studio Buds. About its sensors for fitness, a study by the company shows how AirPods could be used to monitor respiratory rate.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

In the report, Apple and Cornell researchers used a model-driven technology to estimate a person\u2019s respiratory rate using short audio segments obtained after physical exertion in healthy adults. Data was collected from 21 individuals using microphone-enabled, near-field headphones before, during, and after strenuous exercise.<\/p>\n

The study found that this audio can be a \u201cviable signal for passively estimating\u201d respiratory rates, also making it a more cost-effective way of doing so compared to traditional healthcare.<\/p>\n

Another change to expect with AirPods Pro in 2022 is a redesigned charging case, which will reportedly remain 21mm thick, while it will be 46mm tall and 54mm wide. For comparison\u2019s sake, the current AirPods Pro charging case\u00a0measures 45.2mm tall and 60.6mm wide.<\/p>\n

In a December report, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo corroborated with Gurman saying the new AirPods Pro will release in late 2022, featuring a \u2018significantly upgraded\u2019 chip.<\/p>\n

He also said the new AirPods Pro could support Lossless thanks to new technology:<\/p>\n

\n

We expect Apple to launch AirPods Pro 2 in 4Q22 with new selling points, including a new form factor design, support for Apple Lossless (ALAC) format, and a charging case that can emit a sound for users to track. We are optimistic about the demand for AirPods Pro 2 and estimate shipments will reach 18\u201320mn units in 2022.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In addition, Kuo also believes Apple will likely discontinue the original AirPods Pro when releasing its second generation:<\/p>\n

\n

AirPods 3 orders for 2-3Q22 have been cut by 30%+. Due to the failed product segmentation strategy, demand for AirPods 3 is significantly weaker than for AirPods 2. AirPods Pro may get discontinued after Apple launches AirPods Pro 2 in 2H22 to avoid repeating the same mistake.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

When Apple will launch a new AirPods Max?<\/h2>\n
\"AirPods<\/figure>\n

For the high-end AirPods Max model, which was released by the end of 2020, Apple has no plans to release a second generation yet.<\/p>\n

Users are expecting Apple to announce a new model since the company released support for Lossless quality with Apple Music last June and AirPods Max technically can\u2019t play in this quality, even via a wired connection<\/p>\n

The $549 AirPods Max is expected to stay as they are for some time, but Gurman reported in May that Apple could be only planning new colors for the AirPods Max:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cApple only recently caught up with demand for the product, and it is not currently working on a second generation of the AirPods Max, though it has discussed launching additional color variations in the future.<\/em>\u201c<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

As AirPods Max just turned one, it\u2019s still unclear whether the company will ever update these headphones. 9to5Mac<\/em> Parker Ortolani created a concept regarding a second-generation, featuring USB-C + MagSafe charging, some level of water resistance, more colors, etc. Click here to learn more about it.<\/p>\n

  • Here\u2019s how AirPods Pro 2 could foreshadow the launch of the new AirPods Max<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    When will Apple launch AirPods 4?<\/h2>\n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n

    Wow, are you already expecting AirPods 4? Apple just released AirPods 3 in October, with a similar look as the AirPods Pro but without the ear tips.<\/p>\n

    These wireless earbuds don\u2019t feature ANC or Transparency Mode, although the company says they got a boost in bass. They also have 6 hours of battery on a single charge and a new MagSafe Charging Case. Apple also brought support to Dolby Atmos with Spatial Audio with these buds.<\/p>\n

    It\u2019s unclear when the company will release a follow-up of the AirPods, but you can learn more about the AirPods 3 here.<\/p>\n
