Although Miani has no track record in this area, he could be right this time. Already on May 1st, it was claimed that Apple could introduce the third generation of AirPods in the next few weeks. As a reminder: Citing their own sources reported Hits Daily Double reported that Apple is working on a new high-fidelity audio streaming plan for Apple Music that would be announced alongside the third generation of AirPods. Subsequently, clues were discovered in the first beta of iOS 14.6 confirming a HiFi plan for Apple Music with Dolby audio support. As for the AirPods 3, several photos of the product have been circulating on the web for some time. In addition, fake models are already being marketed. So it remains to be seen whether Apple will actually introduce something new next week. Based on previous rumors, however, it is possible. (Photo by Masarik / Bigstockphoto)
