Apple would prepare a major upgrade of its AirPods. According to the Bloomberg news agency quoting a source close to the record, a version (even more) of high-end wireless headphones would be in preparation. Regarding the expected new features, Apple could offer AirPods with active noise reduction and a much larger wireless range. We would also have the right to better protection against rain or perspiration for athletes.
Knowing that the AirPods are charged 179 €, we imagine that these new headphones should exceed the 200 € mark. At this price, the competition is fierce, including internally with the products of the Beats range. Finally, we learn that other features are being studied as a heart rate sensor and wireless charging via the AirPower charger which is also expected for 2019.
Apple could partner with manufacturer Tymphany for the design of these new headphones that should not arrive before 2019 - at the earliest. In the meantime, we should have more information.
