Apple to Release New High-End AirPods, HomePod, and Over-Ear Headphones Next Year

A new report from Bloomberg claims that Apple, after the runaway success of its AirPods, is working on more than one addition to its line of headphones. Apple could launch a new higher-end version of the AirPods in 2019.

Bloomberg claims that Apple’s next AirPods will add noise-cancelling, more range, and limited water-resistance (to protect against rain, not for swimming) to what is already an impressive package.

The new product is expected to cost more than the current rate of $159, which may cause the company to segment them like they do with their phones.

According to Bloomberg, the headphones were originally said to be planned for release later this year, but due to reported "development challenges" they may now be released as soon as next year
