Nothing has recently revealed that it's announcing something on April 18, and today the company has let us know exactly what to expect: the Nothing Ear and Nothing Ear (a).
Those are not typos, we're not talking
about the Nothing Ear (3). Ahead of this launch, the company has decided to
reset its naming scheme and strip back the numbers it has so far been using to
underscore each generation of each product. By giving up on the numbers,
Nothing says it can "center the focus around the product and the unique
experience it delivers for each user".
That may well turn into a confusing mess
in a few years when, if we're reading this correctly, we could have several
generations of earbuds all called Nothing Ear. Perhaps we'll have to use the
launch year to make sense of them, as has sometimes been the case with Apple
products.
Either way, the Nothing Ear (3) isn't the
Nothing Ear (3) anymore, it's just the new Nothing Ear. And joining that pair
of high-end earbuds will be the Nothing Ear (a), to possibly complement the
Nothing Phone (2a) in the company's portfolio as a more affordable option.
