AirPods Pro 2 will be unveiled at the Apple September Far Out event. This
news has been shared by Bloombergs Mark Gurman in his Power On newsletter.
The second-generation AirPods Pro has been rumored to be introduced during
September-November, and now the journalist says these earbuds will be
unveiled three days from now.
During a year of rumors regarding AirPods Pro 2, these earbuds were first
believed to have a new design and sensors, but ultimately analysts and
leakers agreed that Apple will maintain the same look with a few new tweaks.
Rumors also believe the charging case will remain 21mm thick, while it will
be 46mm tall and 54mm wide. For comparisons sake, the current AirPods Pro
charging case measures 45.2mm tall and 60.6mm wide.
9to5Mac sources confirm that the next-generation AirPods Pro codenamed
B698 will feature the next version of the H1 chip, Apples own audio
processor.
In addition, references for LC3 codec support on the AirPods Max beta
firmware tease that AirPods Pro 2 could be the first to add Bluetooth 5.2
support.
This codec will bring more stability and efficiency to wireless earbuds. Not
only that, but this new standard will help AirPods Pro 2 improve the sound
quality for voice calls and songs with higher-bitrate support. Although
low-energy Bluetooth and LC3 codec dont promise Lossless Bluetooth, they
will surely improve sound quality by a lot.
Kuo reported in May that Apple is currently testing the iPhone 15 with a
USB-C port for charging. The analyst also predicted that when (or if) the
iPhone switches to USB-C charging, Apple will also transition AirPods and
other accessories to USB-C.
In June, 52audio speculated that the updated charging case for the AirPods
Pro 2 will switch to USB-C based on its leaked images.
Wrap up
Theres a lot to be excited about the new AirPods model. If rumors turn out
to be true, expect Lossless playback, a new form factor, and health and
fitness sensors.
That said, if you dont think youll need all of these features, this could
be the perfect moment to buy the original AirPods Pro, AirPods Max, and even
Apples 20W charger.
