AirPods Pro 2: release date revealed, Apple is working on a new design and a more powerful chip

Two years after the release of the first iteration, the arrival of the AirPods Pro 2 is definitely overdue. A well-established reference source on Apple products, analyst Ming Chi-Kuo has just revealed a precise exit window for wireless headphones. We take stock of the latest information.

The AirPods Pro 2 were expected in the first half of 2021. But the information revealed at the time by Digitimes turned out to be incorrect since the Apple has still not unveiled the second generation of its premium headphones. Lately, Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman and analyst Ming-Chi Kuo have agreed that the headphones will not be released until next year. The second city has just revealed more on this subject, as revealed by MacRumors.

Indeed, Ming-Chi Kuo, a source generally very knowledgeable about Apple products, asserts that AirPods Pro 2 to release in Q4 2022, or in almost a year. It will therefore be necessary to take his troubles patiently. But what about the characteristics of the successors of the first generation AirPods Pro released in 2019?

AirPods Pro 2: towards a new design and a more efficient chip

Other information released previously, however, can paint a robot portrait of the AirPods Pro 2. Bloomberg had pointed out that Apple intended to significantly shorten the famous rod, opting instead for a more compact in-ear design closer to the Beats Fit Pro. In addition, other hallway noises suggest that the AirPods Pro 2 will be equipped new motion sensors making it possible to monitor the physical condition of users.

If this is confirmed, it will be the first AirPods whose features will not be exclusively focused on audio. Furthermore, a new faster chip would significantly improve the connectivity of the headphones with your devices.

All this information should be taken with a grain of salt pending official confirmation from the manufacturer. However, we can safely assure that the AirPods Pro 2 will benefit from active noise reduction, a premium feature that is exclusively reserved for pro headphones from the Cupertino company.
