According to Bloomberg’s Mark German, Apple may unveil its most powerful true wireless earbuds at the far out event. “I reported last year that new AirPods The Pro will come in 2022, and now I am told that Wednesday will be his big unveiling,” Gurman said in his weekly newsletter.

Since its launch, the AirPods Pro have only received software-related upgrades such as support for lossless audio or Apple’s spatial audio technology. Other brands such as Sony, Jabra, Samsung, and Sennheiser have all launched advanced – in some cases very – models of their premium true wireless earbuds. Apple’s new AirPods Pro could have a new H2 chip for better audio quality and could also improve battery life.
There were rumors about Apple changing the design of its flagship true wireless earbuds. However, several analysts have suggested that there is no design overhaul for the AirPods Pro, but it could be tweaked. Well-known Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo also rubbished the rumors that the AirPods Pro will get a Type-C charging port.
The upcoming AirPods Pro is also expected to bring some health and fitness-related sensors. How they’ll work is still not known, but it’s been three years since the AirPods Pro saw the upgrade, Apple may have a few new features up its sleeve.
