According to a new DigiTimes report, Apple’s upcoming AirPods Pro 2 will launch in the first half of 2021. The new information comes from unnamed industry sources who specify Taiwan-based Winbond Corporation as the main supplier of NOR flash memory for the new AirPods Pro.
Past reports have claimed Apple will
change up the design of the AirPods Pro to a more compact round form factor
possibly eliminating the stem. It will be interesting to see how this design
turns out in terms of ergonomics and staying in users' ears without falling
off. Apple is also expected to debut a new W2 in-house chip with the new
AirPods Pro.
We’ve already seen leaks of the alleged
AirPods Pro 2 system in package (SiP) board which shows a more compact design
in two sizes perhaps indicating a smaller and larger version AirPods Pro.
