Apple is said to be close to launching new third-generation AirPods according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, after several months of leaks and rumors about the product. The new buds, pictured above, will feature shorter stems and will look similar to the current generation AirPods Pro.
Bloomberg also reports that the redesigned AirPods Pro will arrive next year and will feature new motion sensors to allow for onboard fitness tracking. This would be the first time that AirPods functionality has expanded beyond audio.
The post says that Apple originally hoped to release the new AirPods Pro this year as well, but those plans have been delayed.
The upcoming AirPods Pro are believed to remove the stems for a more compact internal design, similar to the Beats Studio Buds that were leaked by. earlier this month. The Beats headphones should be officially announced in a couple of weeks, as they have already been seen in the wild.
Apple’s high-end AirPods offering, AirPods Max, is not expected to be replaced by a new model anytime soon. However, Apple may release additional color options at some point in the future.
