Since the final version of iOS 12.2 is expected in March, observers are also expecting the AirPods 2 to be released at that time. However, a report has now surfaced that says Apple's wireless headphones will have a later market launch. The well-known platform OnLeaks claims to have learned that the AirPods 2 will not be presented at the spring event. According to this, new AirPods will not be available until autumn at the earliest. Apple is only planning to present the new charging case - with this the white plugs can be charged wirelessly. Whether OnLeaks will be right remains to be seen.
