The rumours of the next installment of the Apple AirPods, i.e., AirPods 2, have been around since November 2018, when and now it has been reported by MySmartPrice that Apple’s new Bluetooth earphones have been spotted on the Bluetooth SIG website.
According to MySmartPrice’s ‘trusted sources’, Apple AirPods 2 will look largely identical to the current AirPods from the outside. However, Apple has made some changes on the inside to allow for more impressive bass response.

For improved grip, the upcoming wireless earphones may come with a new coating on top, similar to the one Google uses for its Pixel smartphones. A similar coating will reportedly be used on the “high-end” iPhone 11 variant this year, according to a report published by DroidShout last week.
As some previous leaks had claimed, the AirPods 2 will include more sensors compared to its predecessor. Some rumors suggest these new sensors on the AirPods 2 will be used for the new health features, including heart rate monitoring.
In terms of battery life, AirPods are likely to be more or less similar to the original AirPods, as the battery size is said to be identical.
Apple will be offering the AirPods 2 in two colors: Black and White. While the original AirPods were launched at $159 in the US, the AirPods 2 are expected to be priced around $200 (INR 14,250 approx.).
