Today, at Apple’s iPhone 16 launch, the 4th-gen base-level AirPods got some much needed updates, stealing features from the Pro line, like active noise cancellation and Transparency Mode. The case now has Find My support, complete with a speaker to help you track them down – no more panic when they vanish between the sofa cushions. No lanyard hole this time, but honestly, who even noticed it was there in the first place?
AirPods 4 are set to be the most comfortable AirPods ever made, and are designed to fit more people than ever. There's a new acoustic architecture as well, so they'll be better sounding. The stems have almost disappeared, so look more like AirPods Pro than ever before.
