Apple’s big lineup for this fall is nearly ready for launch. The iPhone 16 event is only days away, Apple prefers launching new AirPods products at its September events, so the wait for AirPods Max 2 should be over soon.
New chip with powerful audio features, Even though the current AirPods Max carry a premium price tag, they’re lacking a lot of features found in the much more affordable AirPods Pro 2. AirPods Max 2 are expected to receive a new chip, likely the H2 found in the current AirPods Pro 2.
This H2 chip will enable AirPods Max users to experience powerful new audio features currently exclusive to the Pro line. Additionally, iOS 18 introduces several more new features to AirPods Pro 2, and with the H2 they should all come to AirPods Max 2 as well:
- The ability to nod or shake your head to respond to Siri.
- Voice Isolation when you’re on a call.
- Gaming-specific enhancements to Personalised Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking.
USB-C charging for AirPods Max 2, Following Apple’s years-long shift to a new universal port standard, AirPods Max 2 will replace the existing Lightning port and adopt USB-C for charging. The same change is expected to happen with the new AirPods 4, which are also likely to launch at the iPhone 16 event next month.
Apple is planning to introduce a variety of new colour options for the AirPods Max 2. There’s no word on what exactly the new color lineup will be. However, we should expect to see a similar number of options with AirPods Max 2.
It’s been four whole years since the first AirPods Max debuted, making this update long overdue. But we shouldn’t have to wait long. Here’s hoping the AirPods Max 2 debut as expected at September’s iPhone event.
