Apple's AirPods 2 have seemingly been certified by Bluetooth SIG
The original Apple AirPods
Revealed by a recently-published Bluetooth SIG listing, Apple has been granted a new certification for a product that, just like the original, will be known as AirPods. The posting itself includes two model numbers – A2031 and A2032 – which confirm that these aren’t the original pair – the current AirPods go by the model numbers A1722 (Left) and A1523 (Right) – and thus suggest that it could be the updated version that has been rumored for some time.
Typically, when products receive their Bluetooth certification, a release is just around the corner. But with Apple’s hardware events seemingly over for the year, an updated pair of AirPods is now not expected until Apple’s next product launch in March, where it may also unveil a new iPad Mini.
