If they only introduce new colors or wireless charging.... and no Airpods 2.. What happens then?

Giveaway is for whatever's next from Apple. If it's just a new wireless charging case, we'll give away AirPods with the new wireless charging case. If it's just a new color, we'll do the new color. All of the eventualities mentioned in this thread are outlined in our full giveaway rules (which you can get to through the Gleam.io widget when you enter).
 
A giveaway for something that hasn’t even been announced yet? Sounds like a very Apple thing to do :)

It's probably smart to add a disclaimer that in case AirPods 2 doesn't come to fruition, you will provide the latest possible version of AirPods available instead.

There's a full disclaimer in the giveaway terms & conditions. It's also mentioned in the article: "Whatever AirPods are coming next from Apple is what our giveaway winner will be receiving at the conclusion of the giveaway."

Apple is working on second-generation AirPods that are expected to be announced sometime soon, perhaps even during the month of March.

We know the AirPods 2 aren't out yet, but we're launching a new giveaway feature that will see us offering MacRumors readers a chance to win unannounced Apple products at launch, and we're starting with the AirPods.

​
We're hosting a giveaway in our AirPods 2 roundup, which you can access by clicking this link or by clicking on the image above. The links will take you right to the giveaway section of the roundup complete with entry form and rules, but make sure to check out the rest for all of the AirPods 2 rumors we've heard so far.

Rumors have suggested the next version of the AirPods will come with "Hey Siri" support for making hands-free Siri requests and a new wireless charging case for Qi-based wireless charging at a minimum, but there are a few other possible features rumored.

Apple is perhaps working on a black color for the second-generation AirPods, and the AirPods could also feature an updated coating that's more matte in color. If Apple does release white AirPods and black AirPods, you can pick whichever color you like best.

There have been some vague hints of other features like heart rate monitoring, but we're not convinced these rumors are accurate. Such a feature could come to the AirPods at some point, but most information has suggested the first AirPods refresh will be rather minor in scale.

Whatever AirPods are coming next from Apple is what our giveaway winner will be receiving at the conclusion of the giveaway.

We're going to be accepting giveaway entries in our AirPods roundup in the United States and Canada until the day that the AirPods are announced, at which point we'll pick a winner, ask for your color preference, and send a pair of fresh new AirPods your way. For full rules and details, make sure to check out the details over in our roundup.

I think that the point is that MacRumors.com should employ a proofreader to help reduce the number of grammatical mistakes that are frequently published here.

If they fall out of my ears all the time and/or feel uncomfortable to wear like the older Earpods and Airpods, then they are useless AFAIC. Form over function almost always seems to suck in Apple designs.

The form functions perfectly for me. I'll be purchasing the 2s on the day they are announced.

What if they aren’t released? What if they’re released but not called AirPods 2? What if AirPods 2 is a totally different product type? What if they are discontinued and then released in 10 years? What if “whatever comes next” is solid gold AirPod Editions?

From the Terms & Conditions:
Due to the complexities of international laws regarding giveaways, only U.S. residents who are 18 years or older and Canadian residents (excluding Quebec) who have reached the age of majority in their province or territory are eligible to enter.

5. Prizes: We plan to give away a pair of the new, base-level 2019 AirPods 2 wireless earbuds, assuming those are released within calendar year 2019. You agree that we are not in control of when, whether, and how Apple will release this product within calendar year 2019. At our discretion, we may change the prize to the basic model of the then-current version of Apple AirPods offered by Apple on or after December 1, 2019. We may also, at our discretion, substitute an Apple gift card in the amount of the retail price of such then-current AirPods version, plus the calculated amount of tax and shipping if shipped to our office in Virginia, but such gift card having a value of not more than US$300.

Want to hide some information? Just put it in a Terms & Conditions statement, since nobody takes the time to read them anymore. :rolleyes:

It’s a rumor site— everything here is fake news.

This was not positioned as a rumor, but nice try.
 
This contest in a nutshell.

I'd rather just wait and see if the new Airpods are introduced before entering a contest to win a pair of them. That way, I can only be disappointed once. :)
 
You could give away a supersonic business jet, and probably never have to pay up. Much more impressive than AirPods.
 
At first I was surprised.

Then I thought: this is MacRumors, a website about rumored Apple services/products. It makes sense. A mixture of funny/crazy/brave idea. Actually I like it.

At least it’s something different.

I'd be happy just to win a current pair. My launch day pair barely last 30 minutes before I have to recharge.

That's all well and good. But given the very restrictive laws in the U.S. and Canada governing how raffles are conducted, is offering an unreleased and unannounced product as a prize even legal?
