According to recent reports, ANC capability is coming to more affordable AirPods next year. This upgrade will come as a result of an update that Apple is planning to make to the entire AirPods line-up. With this update, the more affordable or regular options that’ll launch next year will feature ANC to users.
The reports go on to point out that by next year Apple will launch new versions of the AirPods and following this will be the AirPod Max. These coming products will bring improvements to the wireless audio product line that Apple has to offer. For the regular AirPods, the launch next year will usher in its 4th generation and this will be a milestone for the product.
Following it will be the AirPod Max, and next year’s launch will bring the 2nd generation for users around the world. The introduction of ANC on the regular AirPods will be among the biggest improvements that the products will see. If you haven’t noticed yet, the more affordable or regular AirPods have never launched with ANC as a feature.
Apple’s product launch next year will bring ANC to the more affordable AirPods
Currently, most Apple buyers are picking the older 2nd generation AirPods over the more recent 3rd generation entry. This is not only because the older generation is more affordable, but also because there is no substantial audio improvement. Although Apple stepped up on the audio quality of the more recent 3rd generation AirPod most buyers don’t place any value on the upgrade.
This might be a result of the lack of ANC on the 3rd generation entries. Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) is an audio device technology that helps to reduce background noise while in use. With this feature, users can enjoy streaming their music or making calls without having to battle with noise from the background.
Over the years, the more affordable or regular AirPods have left out this feature. Apple has limited ANC to the more affordable and premium AirPod Pro and Max entries. But all of that is about to change with next year’s launch of Apple audio products.
While the reports of ANC coming to more affordable AirPods aren’t official, they come from a reliable source. For this reason, netizens can hold the reports as being credible and expect these upgrades. This will make the coming 4th generation AirPods a worthy purchase, as it’ll improve users’ audio experience.
Joining the 4th generation AirPods next year might be the 2nd generation AirPod Max. The available reports also point out that a year after these launches, the AirPod Pro will receive a refresh. More details on this as well as official statements will become available to netizens in the coming weeks.
