Apple AirPods 5 Codenames Appear In Latest macOS Update

A recent leak of the macOS Tahoe 26.7 update has revealed potential codenames for upcoming Apple products, including new AirPods 5 models. MacRumors discovered two model identifiers, B868M and B868E, which they believe indicate the unannounced AirPods 5, following a similar naming convention to the previous-generation AirPods 4.

The AirPods 4 launched with two models: one without Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) and the other with ANC. MacRumors predicts that a standard AirPods 5 model and an ANC version may be released soon, as Apple's September launch event approaches. Although Apple has not confirmed these details, the report suggests the new earbuds could feature Apple's H3 chip, which promises enhanced sound quality and lower latency compared to the current H2 chip in the AirPods.

Additionally, the macOS update also referenced an unreleased Beats Solo Buds model, though little is known about it at the moment. Reports like these are common and often appear months before any official announcements. Apple has not confirmed any of these details.
