The second-generation AirPods Max are rumored to come with enhanced audio performance, including improved active noise cancellation and new adaptive audio features. Another significant change is the switch from the Lightning port to USB-C for charging.
While Gurman previously suggested that these new AirPods Max might not debut at today's event due to no notable supply shortages for the current model, it now appears likely they will be unveiled after all.
There have also been hints of new color options for the updated AirPods Max, although the overall design is not expected to see major changes.
In addition to the AirPods Max, Apple is expected to announce updates to its standard AirPods lineup, with two new AirPods 4 models rumored, one of which may include active noise cancellation.
