We983 Archivesjust days away from Apple's big annual September event, and the rumors surrounding the iPhone 16 — along with other potential announcements — are flying.
If you're in the market for a new pair of AirPods, you'll soon have a few more choices. According to a new report, Apple is planning on releasing two different models in the new AirPods 4 line that will likely be announced at the September 9 Apple event.
These new AirPods models will look more like Apple's premium wireless earbuds, AirPods Pro, and come with new features. One model will reportedly even have a charging case with a built-in speaker.
This new AirPods reportis a bit different from some other rumors out there as it comes from a source with a great track record: Bloomberg's Apple insider Mark Gurman.
To be clear, this product launch would release a brand new middle tier of AirPods, as the higher-priced AirPods are not a replacement for the higher tier AirPods Pro.
Apple currently still sells the older second-generation AirPods as an entry-level pair of wireless earbuds. The current generation AirPods 3 acts as a mid-tier device. With the AirPods 4, it appears Apple is looking to make the two levels in the AirPods line official and current with two new releases to replace both the AirPods 2 and AirPods 3.
According to Gurman, both AirPods 4 models have been redesigned to look more like the AirPods Pro. For example, the new AirPods 4 should have much shorter stems than the current generation of AirPods, like the AirPods Pro has. Gurman says that the AirPods 4 also have improved audio quality as well as a new charging case. Both AirPods 4 models will drop the lightning cable and will have USB-C charging as well.
Speaking of charging, Gurman says that Apple recently discovered a software bug that was the culprit for AirPods battery life drain issues. Apple has reportedly fixed the issue in time for the AirPods 4 launch.
So, what's the difference between the two upcoming AirPods 4 models? Gurman reports that the higher end AirPods 4 – the mid-tier AirPods when accounting for AirPods Pro – will receive a premium charging case with a built-in speaker. The purpose of this speaker is to make it easier for users to find their AirPods with Apple's Find My feature but its unclear if the case speaker will have any other utility.
Gurman says that the mid-tier AirPods 4 will also come with noise cancelation that rivals the AirPods Pro, which the entry-level model will lack.
There's also a brand new AirPods feature in the works, according to Gurman, although it may not be ready in time for launch at the Apple event. Apple has reportedly been working on hearing health features, codenamed Yodel, that will turn AirPods into a hearing aid replacement. Yodel will also have a hearing test feature as well.
As for any new updates for the AirPods Pro or even the AirPods Max headphones, Gurman says not to expect anything at the Apple event this year.
A new AirPods Pro with a new design and better noise cancellation is expected next year. An AirPods Max update with new colors and USB-C charging is also expect to come later.
