Released at the time to everyone's amazement, the first model of AirPods has managed to achieve resounding success over the years and has resulted Apple to create new versions capable of improving what has turned out to be one of the most loved and iconic products of its recent history. After making the model Pro and having also added the expensive over-ear model called AirPods Max, the Cupertino company seems to have decided to integrate a new member within its family of wearable devices, likely to replace the AirPods 2.
This is stated by a leak relaunched by the specialized portal MacRumors, who said that a new model of wireless earphones would be on the way in the course of third quarter of this year. Based on what was stated by the source that released the indiscretion, Apple would have already started the mass production of the internal components of the earphones, which should have a form-factor similar to the AirPods Pro and also integrate a optical sensor.
Assuming that the date proposed by the leak is likely, the references to the summer period could indicate two different scenarios to be analyzed. The first would suggest a presentation, perhaps in the course of the summer, with a ad-hoc event and with marketing that should take place in the weeks immediately following. In this case it would be an unprecedented fact, as Apple has traditionally not held up keynote in those months.
The second scenario, potentially more consistent with the commercial choices followed up to now, would see the company present the headphones during the month of September, in conjunction with the presentation of a possible new model of iPhone. Since at present we do not know if what is revealed by the leak is actually true, we invite you to take this news with due precautions while waiting for official news.
