Apple’s September event could miss out one crucial product — and that’s a shame

This year’s Apple event is shaping up to be an even bigger deal than WWDC’s unveiling of the Apple Vision Pro earlier this year — there are at least seven new products we expect to see. While top billing will undoubtedly go to the iPhone 15 line-up and a possible Apple Watch Ultra 2, there are still a few members of the Apple family that’ll miss out, and that’s a shame.

I’m talking, specifically, about the AirPods. Apple’s all-conquering wireless earbuds are unlikely to be featured at the showcase despite the last generation, the AirPods Pro 2, launching a year ago on September 23, 2022.
