One of the two models is said to possess an "entirely new form factor," according to the analyst, while Apple continues to rely on the familiar design for the other variant. What exactly lies behind the "new form factor" leaves Kuo open. It may mean that Apple is adding an over-ear headphone to its AirPods series. This was reported by the ever-well-informed Bloomberg news agency back in July 2018, invoking people who are said to be familiar with the matter.
But that's not all: as wants to know the tech industry service of DIGITIMES - calling two different variants in its latest report - supplier sources, one of the two headphone models to an active noise cancellation have. The headphones analyze the environment noise via microphones and spend more or less strong opposite sound waves depending on the situation.
Only problem: the battery. Finally, such functions bring not only more comfort for the users, but also an increased power consumption with it. The report does not call as Apple would like to solve this. On the one hand, it is conceivable that the Group shrunk the components by means of a new SiP (System-in package) designs and uses the as a result become vacant space for a larger battery AppleInsider- suspected -. On the other hand, the use of the over ear form factor already in the game offers on in noise-cancelling headphones. So Apple would have enough space for a larger power storage and could further increase the run time despite new function.
Apple introduces either end 2019 or 2020 of beginning the new Airpod according to Ming-Chi Kuo. The price of the new generation should move at the same level as in the Apple headphones featured in the March 2019 - but only in the case of the AirPods based on the current design. The headphones with the new form factor, however, come at a higher price on the market. The analyst does not call this an exact amount.
