In contrast, the AirPods Pro, another premium audio product from the company, has seen multiple upgrades, both software and hardware.\u00a0 So, among all the audio devices in Apple\u2019s lineup, AirPods Max is in dire need of an upgrade.\u00a0 When Bloomberg previously reported Apple is planning to update AirPods Max with a USB-C port and new colors, we assumed the company would add a few additional features the headset is currently lacking.\u00a0 Unfortunately, it looks like that won\u2019t be happening. Apple\u2019s $550 AirPods Max to only gain USB-C Image: KnowTechie Renowned Bloomberg journalist Mark Gurman, in the latest edition of his Power On newsletter, has reported that while Apple is planning an update for AirPods Max, it won\u2019t be a significant one.\u00a0 So, we are looking at an upgrade so minor that Apple won\u2019t even change the generation number.&nbsp; However, Gurman has also stated that Apple\u2019s plans could change going forward. Either way, Apple\u2019s driving motivation behind the all-around hardware change is to comply with the European Commission regulations that mandate USB-C, even for charging accessories like headphones.\u00a0 Currently, AirPods Max sports Apple\u2019s proprietary Lightning port so the company may replace it with a USB-C port.\u00a0 It is similar to what Apple did in September with AirPods Pro&#8211;no cosmetic or hardware changes, just the port. If this is true, it also means that even after the modification, the AirPods Max will still feature the older H1 chip under the hood&#8230;.<a href=\"https:\/\/knowtechie.com\/no-h2-chip-update-for-the-airpods-max\/\">New AirPods Max coming next year, without H2 chip<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AirPods Max launched in December 2020 and hasn&#8217;t received many updates.
