The long-awaited update to the AirPods Max
The second-generation AirPods Max could hit the market equipped with a USB-C port that would replace the Lightning port for more prone battery charging. The company with the bitten apple logo has been expanding the implementation of the USB-C port throughout its catalog of devices Over the past few years, even all iPhone 15 models will have USB-C.
It is expected that in addition to the incorporation of a USB-C port, there will be many other hardware updates, but especially software. AirPods Max were launched in 2020 and they are already at a disadvantage compared to other models from the company, due to their older H1 chip.
The most likely thing for the second generation is that the company will implement an H2 chip that is already present in the AirPods Pro 2 line and that will considerably improve sound quality, active noise cancellation and adaptive transparency mode.
This week The USB-C port will come to the iPhone 15 and AirPods Pro, the port located at the base of the case. For the headphones, this will not offer “any other major new hardware features,” according to Gurman.
In the long term, Gurman reinforced that Apple is working to add health features to its AirPods, including body temperature detection and a hearing testing system. These improvements are likely to arrive at some point after the switch to USB-C across the range.
