When someone mentioned Apple TV in a comment to the post, Gurman left the comment that the new Apple TV was delayed until next year, further pushing speculation that the rumored AirPods Studio headphones would actually be tomorrow's "Christmas Surprise."
The AirPods Studio headphones are expected to be Apple's first over-the-ear headphones under Apple's own brand name. They are rumored to feature the H1 chip, noise cancellation, and some kind of customization with the headband and earcups. Speculation on the price has ranged anywhere from $299 all of the way up to $599.
AppleTrack has added to the rumor, saying that multiple sources familiar with the matter confirmed the company's plans to release the headphones as soon as tomorrow.
