AirPods Pro The best 100% wireless headphones Apple sells and are also the most popular and sold. But, They could have been called something quite different. According to the new information shared MacRumors. Although the Pro surname has been used by Apple for years to name products with better features, the situation may be different for AirPods.

According to the information collected, Apple was considering another name before AirPods Pro was released in 2019: AirPods Extreme. A “last name” that Apple only uses on one product.

In the months before Apple announced AirPods Pro in October 2019, the company considered renaming the wireless headphones AirPods Extreme.

AirPods Pro could be called very differently

Apparently Apple was pretty clear about the “AirPods Pro” name, but before launch A key member of Apple management suggested the name AirPods ExtremeHowever, the majority of responsible employees opposed this name change.

The AirPods Extreme name was floated by at least one member of Apple’s leadership team, but the company ultimately decided to use the AirPods Pro branding after many employees opposed the change.

Fortunately, This idea was rejected by the team. AirPods Pro sounds much better, and it perfectly details what the Pro model means: it’s a surname that we have in the Mac series, the iPad series, and the iPhone series, and that people are already used to. When you think of Pro, you automatically think of a device with the best features.

Apple has only used “Extreme” once in the past: on AirPort ExtremeA UFO-shaped router that can connect up to 50 devices, high wireless speed, and to which we can connect a hard disk to share all the information with connected Macs and Windows computers.

AirPort Extreme introduced in 2003

It’s true that there are times when Apple uses other kinds of surnames to refer to its flagship devices; The most notable case is Apple Watch Ultra. The same goes for the Max surname, which is also available on Mac, AirPods, and iPhone. But of course, keeping the AirPods Pro name instead of AirPods Extreme was a smart move.
