MacRumors Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Apple suppliers will begin production of two new fourth-generation AirPods models in May, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. Based on this production timeframe, he expects the headphones to be released in September or October. Gurman expects both fourth-generation AirPods models to feature a new design with better fit, improved sound quality, and an updated charging case with a USB-C port. The higher-end ones will also feature active noise cancellation and a speaker in the charging case that can play a sound for Find My location tracking, he said. Apple plans to discontinue the second-generation and third-generation AirPods after launching the two fourth-generation models, he previously said. Gurman does not expect new AirPods Pro to launch until next year at the earliest, but he said the current models will get a new hearing aid mode with iOS 18. He added that Apple is also working on a hearing test feature for AirPods.Related Roundup: AirPods 3Tag: Mark GurmanBuyer's Guide: AirPods (Don't Buy)Related Forum: AirPodsThis article, "Two New AirPods 4 Models Expected to Launch in September or October" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forumsView the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
