Given the rumors that iphone 15 will have usb-c port, I wonder if they'll release them with usb-c or lightning.
Got a tip for us?

Gurman: New AirPods Pro Will Be Announced at Apple Event This Week

Yeah but look at AirPods 2nd gen, they're still sold by Apple nearly a year after the 3rd gen came out
not a chance for wireless connection, at least not now

Cant wait. Second gen APP’s are on the top of my list!
Doesn’t seem likely. Apple has never released headphones that aren’t white.
Lossless audio is already a thing. And if they use Bluetooth LE they can at least offer lossless cd quality 16 bit
Aren’t Bluetooth filetransfers a thing? The way things work now (highly simplified) the audio is downloaded/streamed to the iOS device, decoded, and then it’s sent over Bluetooth as “audio”
Why not send it over Bluetooth as a “file” which can then be buffered and decoded on AirPods themselves? Ie. The AirPods would actually be playing the music themselves and the iPhone just acts as a remote. Not decoded/playing on the iPhone and then beaming it to the AirPods.
Lossless would not be an issue then presumably

I said lossless on wireleass buds, read again...everybody knows that lossless audio is already a thing..Lets not conflict lossless with spatial audio, completely different thing
So we have to wait for BT6 or something years from now for lossless on wireless headphones
16 bit means 1411kbps....impossible

Awhile back we were discussing all iPhone accessories going to USB-C, so why would Apple launch a AirPod Pro 2 if it’s still lightning before the iPhone goes that way also? Not that long from now to find out how this event reflects what Apple wants to market.
Battery life would be 5 min
Since airpods pro will not be refreshed every year...yea i cannot understand why stick with lightning
On iphones side its normal since this product gets refreshed every single year
The only reason to update these right now is if they're adding Bluetooth LE support.
I just hope the ANC is good on this model and they don’t intentionally nuke the ANC 6 months in.
Do you think it would be possible to have it activated using Apple TV 4K with one new AirPods Pro v2 and one normal AirPods non-pro? Or I will need two of the new AirPods Pro?
The original APP was and still good until all the updates weakened the ANC regardless of the different ear tips used.
Apple needs to fix the ANC so it actually works even if it slowly drains the battery more.
Also, Apple needs to make the inside of the case bigger to allow wider eat tips which should help with the fit and seal.
Lastly, add a button to the case or app for updates as the current method is frustratingly stupid.

I am up in the air to Bluetooth LE being that beneficial to anyone interested in audio quality enhancement over current bluetooth 5.0. Apple need to be supporting more codecs then Bluetooth AAC codec.
Examples
It allows several slower bit rate speeds, but 2 faster bitrates are similar to SBC
Yes being able to broadcast to more than a single bluetooth device sounds useful for some applications, is it that useful for most people is the question? I have no problems with it being worked into general support for audio accessibility justifications.

I got a pair of AirPods Pros as a gift a couple months ago. I returned them for a gift card in anticipation of the AirPods Pro 2 coming out. Glad I waited! While I'm at it, I may replace my PowerBeats Pros as well. Last year was new iPhone, iPad Pro, and Watch 7. This year is headphones!
You should search a little more. Bluetooth LE can manage 16 bit and Qualcomm already offers lossless audio in its Bluetooth offerings
