It is widely expected that Apple will update the airpods Pro this year, and insiders have provided similar airpods Pro 2 release statements for the product. According to an analyst, the time will be the second half of 2022. Or according to another insider -- autumn 2022.
Another whistleblower took a different view of the matter, which involved iPhone 14。 Airpods Pro 2 may share launch activities with this year's iPhone 14. But this will obviously only happen when everything is ready.
Airpods Pro 2 launch schedule
A whistleblower named leaks applepro summed up his feelings about Apple Expectations of the iPhone 14 event.
He pointed out that Apple will have some internal plans in the "37th week" of 2022, and also pointed out that Apple may hold a press conference in mid September on September 13. This is also the date speculated by the media in the previous iPhone 14 report. Considering Apple's past iPhone press conferences, such speculation is meaningful.
The whistleblower reiterated most of the iPhone 14 rumors about design, specification and price. But Apple should announce at least another product at the event, the apple watch series 8. It is said that the new watch series will include three models: the ordinary series 8, the new Apple watch Se and the more rugged extreme version.
It was in this case that the insider mentioned the launch of airpods Pro 2.
If Apple returns to the live event, the new wireless headset may be launched with the iPhone 14. Obviously, Apple has not made a decision on this matter.
By hosting online events, Apple will be able to hold multiple events in the fall. This is the practice of the company in recent years. If so, the airpods Pro 2 may not appear with the iPhone 14 series.
Should I wait for the new airpods pro
Over the past few months, you have seen reports about airpods Pro 2, which provide similar statements. The new wireless headset will provide more improvements than the current model. The list includes a new design, support for health tracking and a new codec. In addition, it will bring lossless audio to airpods for the first time.
Leaksappro mentioned some of its features in the report. He pointed out that airpods Pro 2 will be "the biggest innovation of wireless earplugs since the first generation of airpods". He listed support for lossless audio, which the whistleblower described in detail in previous reports. Obviously, Apple hopes to introduce a new codec to make lossless audio possible on the airpods Pro 2 and the new airpods Max 2.
It is reported that in addition to the new airpods pro, Apple will launch another Max model this year.
In addition, the informant also mentioned the new handle less design and "state-of-the-art" noise reduction function of airpods Pro 2. More interestingly, he said that Apple has been testing a shell prototype with a usb-c interface rather than a lightning interface.
According to recent reports, Apple plans to transfer all its devices to usb-c, including the new iPhone in 2023.
Finally, leaksappro speculates that the airpods Pro 2 may cost $299, which will make them more expensive than current models.
