AirPods Max sequel not coming anytime soon, says report


After their refresh with USB-C, the AirPods Max likely won't get an update for a while

Mark Gurman at Bloomberg reports that Apple doesn’t intend to release a sequel to the $549 AirPods for some time, citing its lack of motivation and market demand for a new pair of premium cans from the iPhone maker. It’s been four years since the original model launched, and in that time, we’ve never seen a redesign, significant sound upgrade, battery boost, or other meaningful improvement. Low market demand makes it easier for Apple not to invest in research and development, hence there’s no AirPods Max 2 release date on the horizon.
