Don’t Cross Revamped AirPods Off Your Holiday Wish List Just Yet

When Apple failed to provide any updates on AirPodsduring its most recent launch consequence , it seemed like lover of the omnipresent wireless earbuds would be forced to hold back until 2019 for a new manakin . However , free-base on newly granted Bluetooth SIG certifications break byMySmartPrice.com , it seems there ’s still a chance that new AirPods could hit the market before the end of the year .

Sadly , the only thing the AirPod certification appear to show is that the next version will boast support for Bluetooth 5.0 , which would leave for more or less more reliable connectivity and improved battery life . ( queerly , it seems that while Bluetooth 5.0 is coming to the new AirPods , Apple did n’t consider that feature was important enough to admit it on thenewly revived MacBook Air . )

This filing may also help excuse that weird section in the middle of Apple’srecent product event , in which it verbalize about change and improvements to Apple Stores ( or “ town square , ” in Apple lingo ) . That division palpate like filler , and perhaps it was included because a new pair of AirPods were on the way , but not quite quick in time for the presentation .

We still do n’t know if Apple ’s second - generation AirPods will boast the radio agitate casethe company rag last yr , alongside the ostensibly abandonedAirPower charging mat , good Siri integrating , or the added health and fitness trailing capacity that have been mentioned in recentAirPod - link patent filings .

But now that a major hurdle appears to have been sort out with this filing , there ’s still meter for Apple to surprise everyone with an updated edition of its super voguish wireless earbuds before the end of the year .
