New AirPods reportedly coming this year with ‘Hey Siri’ support, water resistant model in development<div class="feat-image">
</div><p>Apple is working on a new version of the AirPods truly wireless earbuds for release later this year, featuring a new wireless chip and support for ‘Hey Siri’ activation, according to a
report from Bloomberg today. This is despite the fact the
first-generation model continue to be
supply constrained on Apple.com, more than a year after release.</p>
<p>This would mean users would be able to interact with Siri hands-free, an improvement over the current AirPods hardware which requires an awkward double-tap gesture. The report says that Apple is also developing a future model with water resistance.</p>
