There’s one Apple launch coming today that’s even more exciting than the iPhone 16

Apple will unveil the new iPhone 16 in a few hours. While I can’t wait to upgrade my current iPhone 15 Pro to the latest model, there’s actually one Apple launch that I’m beyond happy that it might get a new version: The AirPods Max .

A new model has been rumored for a few years. While it was expected to be light on new features and even launch at a later date, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, in a Threads post , reported that he expects Apple to unveil the new AirPods Max today.

According to the journalist, there are a few key features to expect from Apple’s premium headphones: Better Active Noise Cancellation, AirPods Pro 2’s Adaptive Audio, and a new USB-C port, which will finally bring Lossless capabilities for these headphones.

While some might think Apple took too long to unveil a new model with only a few features, I’m happy to upgrade my headphones to a USB-C upgrade. As Apple started switching to this new port, I stopped using these headphones because I had to carry an extra cable.

In addition, while I love the AirPods Max in black, I’m dying to get a new model with a different color. Previously, Gurman reported that Apple was planning new colors for the first-generation model. However, they have never been released.

Now, it’s likely that Apple might revamp some of the old colors, even though it’s unclear what could change. Besides that, I hope Apple at least makes these new headphones to pair with AirPods Pro 2 or at least have a few exclusive features.

A better Find My technology and improved battery life are among the features I hope this new generation adds. That said, it won’t take long until we find out what Apple has in store for its iPhone 16 keynote.
