Apple has no plans to update AirPods Max in the near future, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. Despite the recent USB-C model and color refresh, no significant changes like the H2 chip or adaptive audio are expected.
The high price point of $549 makes AirPods Max a low-volume product for Apple, but they remain popular in certain demographics. This limited market, combined with the already high price, makes a significant investment in updating the product less appealing for Apple.
Gurman suggests the current AirPods Max will continue for the foreseeable future, possibly years before a true refresh. While a price drop could boost sales, Apple seems content with its current strategy. Check out this review of AirPods 4 for a look at Apple's other earbuds.
Key Takeaways
- No major AirPods Max updates expected soon.
