Apple’s AirPods Max Could Come In New Colors This Fall

screenrant.com:

According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple will be releasing new AirPods Max in new colors this fall. The company first released these headphones in December 2020 for $549. While they were costly, they sold out quickly. And they weren’t exactly as expected. Most over-the-ear headphones are light, but these were heavy. Despite the weight, they were comfortable and came with impeccable features — everything a user would expect from headphones, but all high quality.

Unfortunately, there hasn’t been much information about the next-generation AirPods Max. Users would assume that Apple would update more features than just the colors for such expensive headphones. Earlier this year, Apple filed a patent with the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office for touch-based gesture features. There’s no way to know if these would be for AirPods Max or another product entirely, but this would be a cool feature to have. Two things users will hope the new headphones have are Lossless playback and a power on/off button.

In the latest Power On newsletter by Mark Gurman, he said he expected a new “AirPods Max refresh” for this fall. However, the only details he gave about the headphones were that they would come in new colors. He was also hopeful that Apple would lower its price, saying that’s an “absurd” price for them. There is no indication that Apple will reduce the cost, unfortunately. There has also been no official announcement from Apple that the AirPods Max 2 will be released this year.

As well as the AirPods Max, Gurman expects Apple to release the next AirPods Pro this fall. Since the last ones were released in the fall of 2019, it’s time for new ones. Gurman noted that
