“I reported last year (opens in new tab) that the new AirPods Pro would arrive in 2022, and now I’m being told that Wednesday will be their big reveal,” reads the latest Power On newsletter from the trusted tech tipster. As Apple loyalists will know, this Wednesday (7th) Apple will launch the iPhone 14 range during its annual September event, this year called ‘Far Out’. It will take place at the Steve Jobs Theater at 1pm EST/10am PT/6pm BST. While the iPhone 14 will undoubtedly be the star of the event, the spotlight, according to Gurman, will also shine on two new additions to Apple’s top two accessory categories – AirPods Pro and three new Apple Watches, including the first Apple model Watch Pro. Earlier speculation said the arrival of the next Pro model could be leaked in 2023, although this imminent timeline is linked to Apple forecaster Ming-Chi Kuo’s recent claim that the next AirPods Pro will begin mass production in the “second half of 2022”. Assuming this reliable report is true, then, the AirPods Pro 2 will be released just three years after the original AirPods Pro arrived in October 2019. Unsurprisingly, the Pro 2 has been rumored for some time now, with everything from price predictions to design speculation to give us a possible glimpse of Apple’s next premium wireless earphones. Our full AirPods Pro 2 news and rumors page rounds up all the latest leaks, including potential features like automatic active noise cancellation, new fitness tracking features, and maybe even ‘through-the-body’ controls. Shorter stems could also be on the menu. With Apple’s Far Out event just two days away, official confirmation could very well be just around the corner.
