A noted tipster says Glowtime equals double AirPods-time
Ahead of Apple’s much-vaunted It’s Glowtime iPhone 16 event, taking place this coming Monday September 9, (starting at 10am PT/1pm ET/6pm BST… which is 3am September 10 AEST), Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has given his clearest affirmation yet that two new sets of AirPods are coming – and two almost certainly aren’t.
Gurman has shared his biggest and most detailed AirPods predictions yet, in his latest Bloomberg missive, ahead of the upcoming Apple event next week. Is this concrete evidence of impending AirPods? No, but it’s pretty conclusive you trust the noted Apple expert – and most people do where iOS products are concerned.
So what exactly did the tech analyst disclose? Here’s summary of what Gurman has prophesised (there’s plenty to get through)… Two new AirPods: the big predictions
Apple is, says Gurman, readying two new AirPods models to supersede the entry-level, (aka AirPods 2019) second-generation earbuds and mid-tier, third-generation model (also known as AirPods 3).
Both new versions will apparently look similar to the AirPods Pro (it’s unclear whether Gurman means the 2019 original Pros or the AirPods Pro 2) and include a new case, USB-C charging and «improved audio quality».
Apple will reportedly distinguish the two new AirPods models by giving the mid-tier version a more premium case with a speaker, thus making it easier to locate with Apple’s Find My feature, plus noise cancellation «to match the AirPods Pro».
