It has been rumored for a bit of time now that Amazon was planning to launch truly wireless headphones, and the rumors have panned out.
Way back in April of this year, there was a report that said that Amazon was working on its own truly wireless headphones, bringing yet another competitor to Apple's reigning AirPods.
In addition to its slew of other releases, Apple on Tuesday opened up its AppleCare+ support service to its line of headphones. Starting today, you can added AppleCare+ to any pair of AirPods or Beats headphones for just $29.
Despite the fact that today is Tuesday, September 10, and Apple is going to announce a host of new devices, there's at least one new report today detailing what's still coming down the line.
The AirPods are small and light, which is great for actually using them. But it also makes them easy to lose, which the MTA in New York City sees as a major issue these days.
Many people decorate their AirPods with creative skins for the charging case (those have been going particularly strong in South Korea). But if you want something more sophisticated, more premium and more luxurious than that, you need to be prepared to burn hundreds of dollars on pricey modding services provided by accessory customization companies, like Caviar.
Apple is promoting customizations of the AirPods charging case, specifically in South Korea.
Bloomberg's Mark Gurman and Debby Wu have summarized their knowledge of Apple's roadmap ahead of the September 10 iPhone event, saying in a report that the company is planning to release a pair of AirPods next year that are likely to cost more than the current $159 model because they will offer features like water resistance and noise cancellation.
In yet another sign that it's moving to diversify product manufacturing beyond China, Apple's reportedly been trialing AirPods production in Vietnam, per a communication seen by Nikkei.
It wasn't too long ago that Apple refreshed the AirPods lineup, adding another version of the truly wireless headphones that include a slightly better battery life, and a wireless charging case. But a new rumor suggests the company could launch yet another version later this year.
iFrogz, a Utah-based audio accessories brand owned by Zagg, last month unveiled Airtime, its first pair of true wireless earbuds that cost just $60 and include AirPods-like automatic pairing mode and some capacities not found on Apple's earbuds, like built-in equalizer settings.
