Apple Will Reportedly Get Rid Of The Stems On Next Year's AirPods Pro

According to Bloomberg, Apple is working on new versions of AirPods and AirPods Pro. These new earbuds might be released next year with enhanced chips and new looks.

The biggest change the report mentions is the omission of the stems that have made the AirPods look totally different from others on the market. If this claim is true, the new versions might look a lot like Pixel Buds of Google or Galaxy Bud+ of Samsung.

However, others disagree with this claim saying that Apple might want to keep the stems as a status symbol, signifying that the wearers are wealthy enough to afford these earbuds.

AirPods’ stems are to house the batteries so if Apple really wants to get rid of them, they will have to increase the size of the buds themselves.

The stems aren’t ugly but many users prefer a more compact look. When the AirPods were first introduced, they were referred to as Apple’s earrings. But time has passed and now the world accepts them as a symbol of status.

Apple is reportedly upgrading the AirPods to shorten the stems and make the ear tips changeable. The new earbuds could arrive in the first half of 2021.

Many users hope Apple will keep the original models on the market as the Pro tips appear to be a bad fit for a large number of people.

The iPhone maker is reportedly working on its over-ear headphones but has delayed the release date further to have time adjusting the tightness.
