Since 2020, the AirPods Max has been a luxury staple in Apple’s lineup, and despite a few years without an update, rumors suggest a thrilling new model might arrive in 2024, possibly equipped with a USB-C port. Likewise, Apple TV has seen sparse updates, with the last, third-generation Apple TV 4K, debuting in 2022. Fans have eagerly anticipated a refreshed version by 2024.
However, recent reports have poured cold water on these hopes, suggesting that Apple might not unveil these new versions at its forthcoming event.
The tech community has long been abuzz with speculation, hoping that the upcoming September 9th event, playfully dubbed “It’s Glowtime,” would mark the debut of the latest Apple TV and AirPods Max models. But according to a fresh report, this announcement won’t make the event’s itinerary.
As highlighted by Mark Gurman in a Bloomberg report, neither the upgraded Apple TV nor the new AirPods Max is expected to headline Apple’s upcoming showcase. Gurman delved into the event’s likely focus and hinted at future developments for these gadgets. He noted that Apple is actively working on a refreshed AirPods Max model, which might even introduce new color variants. The adoption of a USB-C port, replacing the existing Lightning port, is also on the table, aligning with industry trends.
Despite these exciting prospects, Gurman emphasized that a product launch is not imminent. The existing inventory of AirPods Max must be addressed, which could delay the introduction of the new model. Similarly, the anticipated Apple TV update has been in the pipeline, but Apple doesn’t seem to be in a rush to clear out its current stock, leaving the release date uncertain.
So, for those itching to upgrade their Apple TV or snag the next-gen AirPods Max, the wait continues. Stay tuned, because while these updates are not on the immediate horizon, they promise to bring some exciting changes when they do finally arrive.
