According to reports, both models will sport a new design, improved fit, and USB-C charging. One will also add noise cancellation.
Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports that Apple is preparing for its largest AirPods launch ever. The company is gearing up to manufacture at least 20 million new AirPods units and anticipates releasing them next month during Apple’s annual hardware event.
The new AirPods will replace the second- and third-generation base model AirPods. One pair has a codename ending in E for «entry», and the other’s codename ends in M for «mid-tier», so we can infer that one model will have more upgraded features than the other. Both AirPods will debut a new design, improved fit, and compatibility with USB-C charging.
