Apple has been working on the next-generation AirPods Pro for a couple of years now and reports indicate that the company is expected to launch the Apple AirPods Pro 2 in the third or fourth quarter of this year.
In the latest development, it is being claimed that the upcoming flagship wireless earbuds from the company will come with a USB Type-C for charging instead of the company’s proprietary Lightning port.
The new report also sheds light on some of the other upgrades that are expected to come with the new Apple AirPods Pro 2. It will reportedly be powered by the new System-in-Package (SIP) for the H1 chip with support for improved adaptive noise cancellation, EQ, Spatial Audio, and Audio Sharing.
The USB Type-C charging case for the earbuds will also come with support for fast charging but exact details are not yet known. There’s also a possibility of some new sensors making their way to the device, such as temperature monitoring and heart rate monitoring.
Earlier, there were reports as well as leaked images related to the second-generation AirPods Pro with a few changes to the design. Now, it is being claimed 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.
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.
