  "account": "It has been two months since the 2026 World Cup kicked off on June 11, and since then, Beats has been teasing its new headphones, including sporting stars such as Lamine Yamal and Lee Kang-in. However, there has been no official update on the headphones' release. A Redditor on the r/beatsbydre subreddit believes the headphones will not come out until September, after the release of iOS 27. The user suggests that the headphones are still a long way from launch, and we might have to wait up to six months after iOS 27 for their release. While there is no direct evidence that software support exists, it is possible that Apple is simply better at hiding updates. The hype from the soccer players wearing the headphones may have already died down, so if Beats delays the release past September, the buzz generated by the collaboration could have been for naught.",
