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.

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.
