These are the news that will come to AirPods this year

AirPods have become one of the Apple’s most interesting product categories, leading the wireless headphone market practically since its launch. We have different models of AirPods and, after update the AirPods 3 last year, this year we expect news in two other models: AirPods Pro and AirPods Max.

Mark Gurman, one of the best-sourced Apple-related journalists in the industry, has just shared some news that will reach the two most expensive AirPods models in 2022 in his newsletter weekly Power On.

New AirPods Pro, AirPods Max in more colors and cheaper?

According to Mark Gurman, Apple plans to launch a new AirPods Pro model this fall, probably in October. We have already heard other similar rumours, which also predict a design change, with the disappearance of the traditional “stick” of the AirPods. A very important change that we will see at the end of 2022.

On the other hand, Gurman has also talked about the AirPods Max, the best and most expensive Apple headphones. The journalist does not expect a new model, some supposed second-generation AirPods Max, however yes, he expects a new boost for the range with new colors And with, perhaps, a price drop.

Apple has been including new colors in its range of devices, such as star white or purple, which could also reach the colorful AirPods Max range. Of course, in the case of a minor update, we will still not have support for lossless audio playback, both through wireless and wired playback.

Expect new AirPods Pro in the fall. The current model has been on the market since fall 2019, so batteries are likely already in trouble for some early adopters. We’re also expecting an update to the AirPods Max with new colors (and, hopefully, a price drop: $550 is absurd for those earphones).

A big redesign is expected in the AirPods Pro, and hopefully it comes with some other news. Apple could also be working on a new codec to improve the quality of wireless transmission, something that the best Apple AirPods could take great advantage of.

Maybe the current AirPods Max can be updated with this same codec, without the need to release a second version. We will have to wait until the end of the year to see the news that Apple prepares for the AirPods.
