Apple's AirPods Pro, launched in the fall of 2019, quickly became a bestseller, but according to the latest report by prominent analyst Minchi Kuo, picked up by news site 9to5Mac, the second-generation AirPods Pro 2 It is said that it will be released in 2022. However, the model will be released in the fall of 2022, not in the spring. Apple tends to announce new products primarily in the spring or fall, with the first AirPods being announced in September 2016 and launched a few months later. It was predicted that the second generation model of AirPods Pro will be released in the spring of 2022, but it seems that it has been postponed to the fall due to the influence of the pandemic. However, according to Kuo, this model is expected to be packed with "major upgrades" and is a product that deserves a long wait. Bloomberg's Mark Garman had previously stated that the next AirPods Pro would have a radically different design, but according to Kuo, the earphone stem has shrunk from the original AirPods to the AirPods Pro. With the AirPods Pro, the stem length could be even shorter or even completely gone. This is a great change, but it's interesting to see how it affects how you use your earphones if you don't have a stem. In addition, the most promising new features for next year's AirPods Pro 2 include health and fitness sensors, heart rate measurements, and alerts when you're feeling sick. We still have plenty of time until next fall, and we hope to see more details in the future.
