But unfortunately you will need an upgraded apple cleaning cloth firmware to clean the strap.
Absolutely! Not only that, but not using an Apple branded cleaning cloth on the strap will void your warranty immediately. There's a special chip in the strap that detects and records if an unsanctioned cloth was used to "clean" it. The threads of the strap will turn red and fraying will occur within 24 hours.

be warned!
 
" but getting the hardware of the ‌AirPods Pro‌ into a chassis that's reduced in size has proven difficult"

Beats Studio Buds cry in the corner, forgotten.

That looks like a Chinese knock-off of Apple's design. The fit and finish is not even close to Apple's standards; may Samsung, but not Apple.

Why SIX speaker holes? That's not for a "Find My" sound; someone thinks people will listen to audio with this thing.
 

As mentioned above, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, who often provides an accurate assessment of Apple's plans, has said that Apple is aiming to make the AirPods Pro 2 more compact by eliminating the short stem that sticks out from the bottom. Apple has tested a more rounded shape, but getting the hardware of the AirPods Pro into a chassis that's reduced in size has proven difficult, so the plan could be scrapped.

Late on this article. But here we go gain with Mark stating the complete obvious.

1. 2 yrs after initial release a new model will debut. Duh this is what Apple always does except for iPhone and Mac and iPad. Most accessories get updated every 2yrs so this is a no brainer.

2. He’s wrong. Why would Apple have difficulty in removing the stem of the AirPods Pro when just about EVERY competitor (or 80% of competitors) are able to do this successfully for over 5-7yrs now?!

Like seriously Apple scram no stem on AirPod Pro’s because it’s “difficult”?? Lol really now?!

They’ve already done it on the Beats Fit Pro’s so ?!??? Uh-huh.

Dumb reporting by Gurman on this.

Typed 'forced speech'. Sounds like he needed to say *something* and said *something*.

I've thought that to be a 'Svengali of prognostication', you have to 'publish or perish', and that is why so many 'say something'. They are afraid of disappearing into the fog of the future of our past.
