if you've been looking at buying some new airpods or especially the airpods
pro you should probably stop even though there are some good sales on amazon like
20 off only 200 for a pair of airpods pro you might be making a mistake if you
buy them right now the reason is because we are getting some brand new leaks and
rumors for the airpods pro 2 that are going to be coming out very soon with
some massive upgrades as i'm going to get into in this video but before i get
into the latest leaks and rumors i've got to go through some of the older ones
because this is very important specifically because for many months we
thought that the airpods pro 2 would come with a brand new design
specifically stemless like you can see in this video that we made six months
ago yes we had some rumors specifically from mark german who said that we could
be getting a new redesign with the airpods pro 2 with them eliminating the
stem giving you that stemless flush design and it wasn't only mark german
ming chukwuo also came out in december of last year saying that the airpods pro
2 would have a new design and an improved chip launching in late
2022 so he also agreed that we could have that stemless design now when i
first heard about this design change i was a little bit weary about it because
first of all apple really cares about those physical touch controls like
pinching to skip songs pause double click triple click whatever on the
actual stem and that helps them be very reliable and eliminating the stem
entirely would make the physical controls go away because you'd probably
have to tap like you did on the original airpods which apple replaced that kind
of functionality and i didn't find it as reliable and another reason i thought it
was kind of weird is because the stem has always been the signature trademark
of the airpods and it's what made them unique compared to all the other earbuds
out there so if apple got rid of it it would basically be getting rid of the
one thing that makes it very unique and special however a stemless design would
actually be really cool because you can change your shirt without kind of
nicking the stem on the airpods and you can put on a motorcycle helmet and use
them while riding your motorcycle with transparency mode turned on you still
want to hear what's around you but that would be kind of convenient because with
the current airpods you can't really do that however in october of last year mac
rumors received this image from a source named xerxes with basically no track
record but it showed a new airpods pro 2 case with basically the same design
except for a couple of changes like adding speaker holes on the bottom to
use with find my and this new little attachment on the side for attaching
various accessories if you want to kind of attach your air pods to your bag or
something else and then last month mac rumors dug in a little bit deeper and
said that the airpods pro 2 are likely to feature exactly the same design in
terms of the actual buds themselves contrary to the stemless rumors so why
would apple do this well first of all it is a lot cheaper to reuse the same
earbud design as they did before because they don't have to pay for the new
manufacturing the new tooling you just do the same thing as you did before and
apple is going to be saving a lot of money and it's going to help the actual
supply chain as well and this is important for apple because right now
they're trying to increase their profit margins as much as they can because of
all of the inflationary issues that are going on and then on top of that if
apple is able to upgrade the internals of the actual earbuds themselves making
the speakers better making the noise cancellation better and maybe even
adding lossless audio which i'm gonna talk about then they could get away with
not changing the design but upgrading them to airpods pro 2 and people are
still going to buy them and speaking of lossless audio minchiko came out in the
beginning of this year in january saying that the airpods pro 2 are going to
feature lossless audio support which is a big deal because apple has basically
upgraded their entire apple music library to support lossless audio but
right now none of the airpods support it not even the airpods max support
lossless audio so because apple made such a huge effort to bring all the
songs up to par with lossless audio support and make sense for them to find
a way to make airpods at least the new ones support lossless audio and i
actually made a video about this six months ago talking about how apple could
be using some new chip potentially like the u2 chip or ultra wideband or
something else to bring lossless to the new airpods pro 2. and just a couple of
weeks ago 52 audio came out with a massive leak saying that the airpods pro
2 will feature an upgraded h1 ship find my support heart rate detection
usbc and more as you can see we have the same
design for the case and the actual air pods themselves but we're going to be
getting all these upgrades including sound improvements as well with the
airpods pro 2 sharing the acoustics with the airpods 3 which do have new dynamic
speaker drivers and extra capabilities like using them as hearing aids which 52
audio thinks they are going to have and if you haven't heard of 52audio.com
they're actually extremely accurate in terms of their leaks because they
actually had the airpods pro first look leak correct and accurate from the get
go which was awesome revealing the case and the actual
earbuds and they actually had the airpods 3 first look leak correct as
well showing off some of the components of the air pass 3 and they were spot on
including some features like having the h1 ship not having anc
and some of these other things as well but the really awesome part is that they
release some images showing off basically the same case that we saw
before in the previously leaked images last year with some speaker holes on the
bottom which will be used for find my and this accessory attachment on the
side but not only that you can see right here that this is a usb c port which i
think is awesome and i really hope it does because i was not expecting usbc
accessories to come until after the iphone 15 lineup next year but there is
a chance that they're going to do it earlier with the airpods pro because
these will likely be selling for the next couple of years so they might want
to switch to usbc first before they get forced to switch
next year by the eu and everything else now on top of that we also got some
recent leaks from mark german saying that the airpods pro 2 are no longer
expected to feature built-in heart rate or body temperature sensors which is a
little bit disappointing because a lot of people were excited for that but
apple might hold off until they redesign it again which might not happen for a
few years who knows at this point but just to add to the whole usb c point
minchiko actually talked about it back in may saying that apple is going to be
switching all of their accessories including the airpods magic keyboard
trackpad mouse mac safe battery everything else to usbc in the
foreseeable future which i totally agree with and i hope it happens sooner rather
than later and then finally talking about the release date we did get some
clues from mark german saying that they are going to be updated this fall which
i totally agree with and i think it's going to be coming maybe in october or
november but there is a chance they could come alongside the new iphone 14
lineup i'm not really sure but i think it is going to be happening sometime
this fall so if you're interested in waiting for the
airpods pro 2 i think that's going to be an excellent choice because if these
support lossless audio that is going to be a huge improvement compared to the
current airpods pro that do not so even if you can get them on sale for 200
i would honestly just wait a few more months with the air pods or earbuds that
you have now and just spend the extra 50 bucks who knows maybe they're gonna
be even more expensive three hundred dollars i mean that'd be crazy hopefully
250 and i think that would be a great choice now if you disagree with me let
