According to McRomers, a reliable source for Apple product leaks, the highly anticipated new speaker is set to debut this year. It’s speculated that the speaker will feature a USBC shipping outlet, aligning with Apple’s transition away from Lightning outlets in its mobile devices.
Additionally, the new speaker is expected to boast Bluetooth 5.3 technology, seen in recent Apple devices like the iPhone 15, Apple Watch 9, and iPods Pro 2. These advancements offer enhanced energy efficiency compared to previous Bluetooth iterations.
While Apple hasn’t officially disclosed specific details or color options for the speaker, leaks suggest it will come in classic colors: white, black, red, pink, and blue.
Anticipated features include integration of H2 processors, similar to those in the AiBuds Pro 2 headphones. This incorporation is expected to deliver superior external noise isolation and support for spatial sound technologies, ensuring seamless compatibility with the latest Apple mobile devices.
