Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo reports that a 2026 AirPods model update could be all about making Apple Vision Pro better. Here’s how.
Later this year, Apple is expected to start upgrading its AirPods lineup with 4th-generation earbuds and a USB-C version of AirPods Max. While AirPods Pro is expected to get new features in 2025, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo reports that a 2026 iteration could be an even bigger update that's all about improving Apple Vision Pro. In a Medium post, the top Apple insider says the company wants to mass-produce new AirPods Pro with camera modules by 2026.
These new earbuds would be used with “Vision Pro and future Apple headsets to enhance the user experience of Spatial Audio and strengthen the spatial computing ecosystem.” When a user is watching a video with Vision Pro and wearing the new AirPods, the head-tracking experience can be improved since the IR camera can detect environmental image changes. This could potentially enable in-air gesture control to enhance human-device interaction.
