Get ready, Apple fans! It looks like there are some exciting new releases on the horizon. Not only are two new iPad Airs and two iPad Pros expected to drop later this year, but we can also anticipate some revamped AirPods models.

Here’s what we know so far:

– The debut of the next-gen AirPods Pro 3 is still a bit uncertain, but it’s likely that we’ll see the AirPods 4 and a refreshed version of the AirPods Max.

– According to leaks from Weibo user Instant Digital (via MacRumors), the refreshed AirPods Max is expected to hit shelves this year with one notable change – the inclusion of a USB-C port. However, it’s anticipated that these headphones will retain the same H1 chip as their predecessors, meaning they may miss out on Adaptive Audio due to the older processor.

So what exactly is Adaptive Audio? It includes three key features:

– Adaptive Noise Control: This feature mixes Active Noise Cancellation and Transparency mode to tweak noise control depending on your surroundings.

– Personalized Volume: The headphones will adjust media volume based on your environment and volume preferences.

– Conversation Awareness: This feature lowers media volume and reduces background noise while enhancing voices in front of you.

For now, these Adaptive Audio features are unique to the second-generation AirPods Pro as they rely on the processing power of the H2 chip. However, there are speculations that Apple might unveil the next-gen H3 chip with the AirPods Pro 3 in the coming year.

This recent leak supports previous reports, suggesting that the significant change to the AirPods Max would be the shift from a Lightning port to a USB-C. This move isn’t surprising considering Apple’s gradual adoption of USB-C for all its products. There’s also talk of some new color options for the refreshed AirPods Max, but that could hardly be considered an update at all.

Stay tuned for more updates as we get closer to these exciting releases!
