Two New AirPods 4 Models Expected to Launch in September or October
Apple suppliers will begin production of two new fourth-generation AirPods models in May, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. Based on this production timeframe, he expects the headphones to be released in September or October.
Gurman expects both fourth-generation AirPods models to feature a new design with better fit, improved sound quality, and an updated charging case with a USB-C port. The higher-end ones will also feature active noise cancellation and a speaker in the charging case that can play a sound for Find My location tracking, he said.
Apple plans to discontinue the second-generation and third-generation AirPods after launching the two fourth-generation models, he previously said.
Gurman does not expect new AirPods Pro to launch until next year at the earliest, but he said the current models will get a new hearing aid mode with iOS 18. He added that Apple is also working on a hearing test feature for AirPods.

I’ve been an AirPods user since day one, literally ordered them the first day you could.
I will NEVER use a version that sticks a plunger in my ear.
It's probably because I'm getting older and I absolutely can't hear like I used to be able to
None of us can as we age
Doesn't "lossless" matter more on really high end full size headphones or speakers or something?
