Apple’s next-gen AirPods to have two models, launch likely in September

Apple is set to start the mass-production of the upcoming AirPods in May, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. According to Gurman, Apple plans to produce 20 to 25 million units of fourth-generation AirPods – a significant increase over prior new models.

According to Gurman, the AirPods will have two models this year that would replace both the second- and third-generation AirPods. The updated versions are reportedly codenamed B768(E) and B768(M), where E stands for “entry” and the M stands for “mid-tier.”
