AirPods Pro: Apple plans major changes for 2026
The next AirPods Pro could be more expensive, smarter and more versatile – with IR cameras and new features for Apple Intelligence.
AirPods are Apple's wireless headphone family and have stood for seamless audio experiences within the Apple ecosystem since December 2016. Today the lineup ranges from the classic AirPods through AirPods Pro with Active Noise Cancellation, Transparency mode and Adaptive Audio to the AirPods Max over-ear headphones with Spatial Audio and Dolby Atmos. Apple's own H chips deliver ultra-low latency, automatic pairing via the Apple Account, instant switching between iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch and Apple TV, and continuous improvements through firmware updates. In recent years, AirPods have also evolved into a hearing-health platform – with hearing tests, hearing-aid functionality, noise-exposure protection and a growing data foundation from the Apple Hearing Study.
