Apple has unveiled AirPods Max 2, a new model of the previous generation of the popular portable devices. The new model features several new features, including up to 1.5x better Active Noise Cancellation, and a lighter weight design. However, there are rumors that another new model may be planned for next year. This is not the first time Apple has changed the design since its release in 2020. It is also expected that the company will launch a high-end version of the existing AirPod Pro model this year, despite only having released the AirPod Pro 3 in the past year.
