In 2024, significant changes may be on the horizon for Apple's AirPods lineup, according to insights from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. Gurman suggests that the AirPods might undergo a design overhaul, and Apple could potentially introduce two new models during the year. While Apple's customary secrecy still veils specific details, Gurman provides a glimpse into potential developments.
The forthcoming AirPods, tentatively labeled as the "fourth generation," may be offered in two variants, presenting alternatives to the existing AirPods 2 and AirPods 3. Gurman hints at a possible amalgamation of design elements from both the AirPods Pro and standard AirPods, suggesting a departure from the familiar stem design. Additionally, the two new AirPods models could vary in features, with the lower-priced variant likely omitting active noise cancellation, a feature reserved for the higher-priced model and the AirPods Pro.
