At last, Apple has revealed the next version of AirPods. Here’s all you need to know.
What are they called?
The new AirPods will be simply called AirPods, as they are now. The first-generation model has now been retired and the new model is all you can buy, though it comes in two versions.They’re on sale now online and will be in store in Apple Stores from next week.The price is $159, which is the same as today, even though the new AirPods include a new, more powerful chip. But if you want the wireless charging option, that means buying it with the Wireless Charging Case, for $199.
Apple AirPods, the new version with an optional new case. It has an LED to show it's wireless-chargeable.The new AirPods come in two versions, one using a regular charging case, as previously. But you can also opt for a case that’s capable of wireless charging. To be honest, that’s the least surprising thing here because this new-look case with the telltale LED that lights up when charging, has been promised since September 2017 when the AirPower charging mat was first revealed. That has not yet gone on sale butTalk time on the new AirPods will be 50% more than on the first-generation version. To drill down a little, previously talk time was two hours, so now it'll be three. You can just ramble on and on.
