Apple Airpods Pro 2: health features and ‘speakers’ in the case?

The next generation of Apple AirPods Pro could bring a number of interesting innovations with it, if one of the most famous Apple analysts has its way. Among other things, there is talk of support for lossless audio and other innovations. As both 9to5Mac and AppleInsider reported, citing a note from analyst Ming-Chi Kuo that he sent to the customers of his financial advisory firm, Apple plans to launch the AirPods Pro 2 probably in the fourth quarter of 2022, up to theirs Introduction will take some time. When the time comes, the new high-end in-ear headphones from Apple will no longer only offer active noise suppression, but also support lossless audio, according to sources from Kuo. In addition, Apple allegedly wants to equip the charging case of the second generation AirPods Pro with a kind of mini speaker.

The speaker is more of a beeper

However, this is not used to play music or other content, but should only let the case emit a sound if it has been misplaced. This should make the carrying case easier to find. In addition to the small speaker, according to Kuo, Apple is also planning support for the Apple Lossless Audio Codec (ALAC), as mentioned. Kuo also assumes that Apple will thoroughly revise the design of the headphones. In addition, the analyst considers the integration of gyroscopes and other sensor technology, which has long been discussed as part of the rumor kitchen, to be probable, which would then enable the implementation of new health and fitness tracking functions.

As for the likely success of the next AirPods Pro generation, Kuo is confident. Even after the launch in the fourth quarter of 2022, he still expects 18 to 20 million units to be sold – numbers that other brands can only dream of.
