Apple is reportedly planning to refresh its AirPods lineup with two new models later this year, according to recent reports by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman (via MacRumors). The new AirPods, tentatively called the AirPods 4 and priced at different points (one entry-level and one mid-range, potentially), are expected to replace the current second-generation and third-generation AirPods, potentially bringing significant updates to some of the most popular wireless earbuds in history.
Both new models are said to feature a redesigned look, moving away from the long-stem design that has been a signature of the AirPods since their introduction. If true, the new design will more closely resemble the AirPods Pro 2, with shorter stems for a more compact profile.
