Apple has been working on AirPods Pro 2, which is the next-generation version of the popular AirPods Pro true wireless earbuds that were launched in 2019. The upcoming TWS earbuds have leaked online several times.

Now, in the latest development, it is being claimed that the AirPods Pro 2 will come with exactly the same design as its predecessor. This contradicts earlier reports of a completely new design for the earphones.

Previously, there were reports as well as leaked images related to the second-generation AirPods Pro with a few changes to the design. But now, a new report from MacRumors claims that the upcoming earbuds won’t come with the so-called stemless design.

The earbuds will come with the skin-detect sensor that was debuted with the recently launched Apple AirPods 3, which provides a more accurate way to discern if the earbuds are actually in a user’s ears or not. It works by detecting water content in the wearer’s skin.

Based on the previous reports, the Apple AirPods Pro 2 is expected to be powered by an upgraded chip that brings advanced audio-related functions like active noise cancellation and more improvements, resulting in improved battery life.

It is also being claimed that the earbuds may support Apple Lossless Audio Codec (ALAC) and if that happens, then it would be the first TWS earphones from the Cupertino-based tech giant to support lossless audio.

The charging case of the upcoming earbuds could also get support for emitting sound, which can help find the charging case if it’s separated from the AirPods or if it has been misplaced by the user.

As for the launch timeline, we believe that the AirPods 2 Pro won’t be available for purchase until Q4 2022, which means that they will go on sale for the holiday season this year, somewhere between October and December.
