AirPods 5: Everything we've heard so far about Apple's next wireless earbuds
Rumors are swirling about the next iteration of Apple's world-famous wireless earbuds. Here's what we know so far.
Apple is rumored to be releasing its next generation of AirPods, the AirPods 5, in September 2022. Reports suggest that the new earbuds will launch alongside the iPhone 18 Pro event, potentially around September 9 with a release date of September 18. The AirPods 5 are expected to feature the new H3 Wireless Chip, which will provide improved voice isolation, active noise cancellation, and spatial audio.
Additionally, there may be two versions of the AirPods 5: one with active noise cancellation and another without, priced at $129 and $179 respectively. The H3 Chip could also potentially include a temperature sensor to gather health data, though not as accurate as the Apple Watch. While the AirPods 5 may not offer groundbreaking features, they are expected to provide good value as an affordable entry-level option.
