Mark Gurman’s Power On newsletter addresses iPhone 14 and Apple Watch Pro. Gurman expects a new pair of AirPods Pro could be released on September 7 at Apple’s ‘Far Out’ event.
What’s New?
Apple should replace the AirPods Pro, which is nearing its third birthday, with the AirPods Pro 2.
Andrew O’Hara claims to have leaked CAD files of the AirPods Pro 2 charging case. O’Hara hasn’t confirmed the photographs’ veracity, but the design matches rumors.
What’s More?
Apple appears to have included a charging case similar to the original AirPods Pro.
CAD renders reveal ‘Find My’ speaker grilles, a lanyard anchor, and a microphone. Why the charging case needs a microphone is unclear.
Digging Into More Details
CAD renders don’t show if AirPods Pro 2 charges via Lightning or USB Type-C. AirPods Pro 2 will support the former, not the latter, and Bluetooth LE Audio for enhanced battery life.
We expect the AirPods Pro 2 to replace the AirPods Pro at $249.
