If we always talk about the exterior design of a product, this time we are going to talk about the interior and more specifically the interior of the AirPods Pro 2. An infrared scan allows us to see for the very first time the choices made by Apple to operate its new headphones.
The insides of the AirPods Pro 2
While waiting for the traditional teardown of iFixit, Lumafield invites us to discover the entrails of Apple’s new headphones, the AirPods 2, using its industrial CT scanner Neptune.
Thanks to this one, we can have a first glimpse of the interior of the product and rather interestingly, the drawstring case would be deeper than it seems. First impression, the internal layout seems similar to the first generation AirPods.
We can see very well the four magnets placed around the wireless charging coil, which allow the passage to operate the MagSafe charge. We also note the careful device that is essential to keep the headphones in place when they are placed in the box.
On the side of the new part on the right of the case, the one that allows you to attach a cord to your AirPods, there would obviously be a few surprises. According to the scan, this part is actually 4mm deep and measures 18mm.
According to Lumafield, Apple would have used this space to place the U1 chip which offers ultra-precise tracking in the application Locate. Nothing says that this explanation is exact, but it is in any case the first plausible idea. We should have the answer in the coming weeks.
As a reminder, AirPods Pro 2 can now ring if you’ve lost them and they can, just like AirTags, be found to the nearest centimeter.
