AirPods Pro 2 leak: great internal news and USB-C case

If reports from various reliable sources are confirmed, AirPods Pro 2 this is one of the products that Apple will introduce in the second half of the year. Although in recent months we have heard all kinds of rumors about it, today 52Audio share new images headphones. After analyzing the leak, there is good and bad news.

The bad news is that the design of the AirPods Pro 2, judging by these images and other recent leaks, does not change from the current model. Some reports have suggested that Apple will significantly change the design to distinguish them from the standard AirPods, which in the third generation included elements that were only present in the Pro variant.

Among these supposed changes, the most noticeable was the reduction in the size of the “stick”, but in the images presented 52Audio there are no differences in this respect. Let’s remember, yes, that we’re dealing with a leak, and it should be taken as such; with disbelief until it becomes official.

Now there will be news inside. According to the aforementioned media reports, Apple will introduce important improvements in the H1 chip. It will have higher performance and power consumption due to the improved manufacturing process. These characteristics will allow you to offer “Self-adaptive” active noise cancellation and improved “Search” performance (Find me) — to find them—.

The source mentions that sound quality will be very similar to AirPods 3but gaining noise reduction will make a difference.

Similarly, AirPods Pro 2 will have heart rate detection, as it will be able to measure and analyze the data generated by the inner ear. Sources referred to 52Audio They believe that the headphones could also measure the temperature, although they do not dare to guarantee this.

Case with USB-C port, microphone and speakers

The charging case does not lag behind. In fact, it is in this accessory that we appreciate a large number of novelties. The most notable, without a doubt, is goodbye Lightning port in favor of USB-C. There are holes on the right side, presumably to make room for microphones this will help the AirPods Pro 2 improve the Ambient Sound Mode.

For our part, at the bottom we see holes for speakerswhich will be used to play sounds that support the “Find” function, such as AirTags.

The USB-C port issue is different from the report by Ming-Chi Kuo, who announced in May that the AirPods Pro case would keep Lightning for at least another generation. That is, AirPods Pro 2 will be the last with the specified connector. In addition, the analyst said that Apple plans to produce headphones in Vietnam to facilitate production in China.

It’s very possible, but not certain, that Apple will introduce the AirPods Pro 2 during its regular September event, where we’ll also see the iPhone 14.
