A new report from Bloomberg says Apple's next-generation AirPods Pro will come in 2022 and feature motion sensors for fitness tracking.
From Mark Gurman:
The report notes previous reports that Apple's AirPods Pro upgrade was supposed to be released this year, but doesn't elaborate on why they've been delayed. Apple is also reportedly testing a smaller design that eliminates the stem of the AirPods Pro, but the report doesn't state whether this feature has made it to the final design.
In his report, Gurman also alluded to new third-generation AirPods coming this year, and the possibility that Apple might release more colors of its AirPods Max. The report echoes previous rumors Apple is working on a new HomePod speaker with a built-in screen, "as well as a device that combines the features of a HomePod, FaceTime camera and Apple TV."
