Apple Inc is readying a revamp of its entry-level AirPods for this year and a second generation of the AirPods Pro for next year.
The new base AirPods will mark the first update to the product since March 2019 and will add a new design that mostly mirrors that of the AirPods Pro. The earbuds will come with a new case and shorter stems poking out of the bottom of each one. The AirPods Pro coming next year will be the first change to that product since October 2019 and will include updated motion sensors with a focus on fitness tracking.
Apple had previously aimed to release new AirPods Pro as early as this year, Bloomberg News reported in 2020. The update to its wireless earbuds range will bolster company’s wearables, home and accessories segment, which grows rapidly to account for over $30 billion in annual revenue,
exceeding 10% of total sales.
