In a support guide, Apple says that the AirPods Pro may play a sound every so often while in the case to ensure the microphones and speakers are working as intended. From Apple:

The latest word comes from Apple supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. In a blog post today, he said the device will be released around the middle of the first half of 2025. In other words, around the quarter mark of 2025. That means the next iPhone SE will likely be ...

It was recently reported that new Apple TV and new HomePod mini models will launch this year, and the devices are expected to have one thing in common.

Apple in October 2024 overhauled its 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models, adding M4, M4 Pro, and M4 Max chips, Thunderbolt 5 ports on higher-end models, display changes, and more. That's quite a lot of updates in one go, but if you think this means a further major refresh for the MacBook Pro is now several years away, think again.
Bloomberg's Mark Gurman has said he expects only a small...

Apple Intelligence hasn't convinced people to buy an iPhone 16, Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said today. According to Kuo, a supply chain survey suggests Apple Intelligence is not pushing people to upgrade their devices.
The delay between the Apple Intelligence introduction in June 2024 and a launch even after iPhone 16 models came out was a contributing factor, and Apple Intelligence "appeal...

The AirTags ('https://www.amazon.co.uk/Apple-AirTag-Bluetooth-Item-Finder/dp/B0935JRJ59/ref=sr_1_3?crid=C1GJYRU6T75W&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.CgQWnuSfsl0Mhs0BtLt5TEqg63vGm23Tmplq27E1MztXdzF7-6YJR3-F0fNN8Njn2j_NDY5C1WwlnipnYA3HPQ32_YkACnXs7LqXpZda4Xqgo8jDlS4UTPJzohqKzvnfCRf6KE1xJR6JV6JOn2q3fKeq3m8LvQjnubUmQj84153L32T5ZhUdd1vqiiw7UGW7yu6jPdPhov7LMyl1OZVY1cr2ZERHxonj3RlpO4zgAx8.zBMsetgJX4dasaD1evEq57o98s_1AovCD3xPiuohkwg&dib_tag=se&keywords=airtags+4+pack&nsdOptOutParam=true&qid=1736685008&sprefix=AirTags+%2Caps%2C103&sr=8-3') are £94 or $114.91. Yes I realise that in America there is tax to add but I very much doubt that it’s going to be almost $100 on the AirPods and $50 on the AirTags. Apple and Amazon are ripping the UK off.
I live in Mexico and what I can tell you is that is pretty much the same thing here. Crazy and almost impossible prices due to taxes, logistics and import rates.
