Apple AirPods 4 tipped to get a new design, ANC, and more; Know what’s coming

Apple is gearing up to release the next-gen AirPods, ubiquitously known as Apple AirPods 4, as per Mark Gurman.

Two versions of the Apple AirPods 4 will be unveiled, each catering to different price points.

Both versions will be aimed at replacing both the AirPods 3 and the more affordable AirPods 2.

The AirPods 4 will boast a redesigned look, resembling a blend of the current AirPods and the AirPods Pro, featuring shorter stems.

While it remains uncertain whether the earbuds will incorporate silicone tips, an improved fit is anticipated.

The new case for the AirPods 4 will include built-in speakers for Find My alerts and a USB-C charging port.

The higher-end AirPods 4 will likely feature Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) which was previously exclusive to the AirPods Pro.

This means that customers will likely be able to enjoy ANC at a more affordable price point.

The anticipated release date for the AirPods 4 is 2024, likely around September, coinciding with Apple's introduction of new iPhone models.
