Gurman: AirPods Pro 2 With Fitness Tracking Coming in 2022, AirPods 3 With 'Pro' Design to Launch Later This YearApple is preparing to launch third-generation
AirPods this year, and plans to release second-generation
AirPods Pro next year, according to
Bloomberg's Mark Gurman.
In line with
previous leaks and rumors, Gurman explained that Apple is readying third-generation ‌AirPods‌ for launch later this year. The updated earbuds will apparently come with a new case and feature shorter stems, broadly mirroring the design of the current ‌AirPods Pro‌.
Looking to 2022, Gurman said that the second-generation ‌AirPods Pro‌ will feature updated motion sensors and have a focus on
fitness tracking.
The ‌AirPods Pro‌ coming next year will be the first change to that product since October 2019 and will include updated motion sensors with a focus on fitness tracking, the people said, asking not to be named because the plans are private.
Apple has apparently tested a smaller design that eliminates the stems on ‌AirPods Pro‌. This stemless design is expected to debut on new
Beats Studio Buds that are rumored to launch next month.
Apple purportedly originally planned to release the second-generation ‌AirPods Pro‌ in 2021, but for reasons that are unclear, the launch has been pushed back to 2022.
Moreover, Apple is said to not currently be working on a second-generation of its
AirPods Max over-ear headphones, but it has discussed launching additional color options in the future.<div class="linkback">Related Roundups:
