Apple is reportedly planning to release one or more new AirPods models this year. That shouldn't come as much of a surprise‚ of course‚ since it has been a while since Apple truly refreshed any of its popular earphones. AirPods Pro 2 got a minor update last year with a new USB-C charging case‚ but the earbuds themselves were left largely unchanged. Does that mean you should wait for AirPods Pro 3 to get a true upgrade‚ or should you get a pair of AirPods Pro 2 now&;#63; If you were hoping for a big refresh this year‚ I have some bad news: AirPods Pro 3 aren't expected to be released in 2024. But the good news is that there's a huge sale right now that cuts AirPods Pro 2 down to just $179.99 at Amazon and Best Buy. That matches the lowest price ever‚ so it's another good reason to just pick up a pair now instead of waiting until 2025 or later for AirPods Pro 3.

And it's even more rare to see a new version of a popular Apple device go on sale as soon as it's released. But that's exactly what happened with the latest and greatest version of Apple's AirPods Pro earphones. AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C have been discounted ever since they were first released. Of course‚ that sort of makes sense since they're more of a minor refresh than a true update. Some sales are better than others though‚ and the current deal on offer is the best one I've ever seen. Last week‚ I told you that Apple's new AirPods Pro with USB-C had dropped to $200 on sale. That's a terrific price‚ of course‚ but it turns out that waiting paid off for anyone who didn't buy a pair at that time. That's because now‚ AirPods Pro with USB-C are on sale at an even lower price. This new discount slashes AirPods Pro with USB-C to just $179.99‚ matching the all-time low price from earlier this year. Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Generation) Wireless Ear Buds with USB-C Charging‚ Up to 2X More Active… Price: $179.99 You Save: $69.01 (28%) Buy Now Ahead of Apple's &;quot;Wonderlust&;quot; event in mid-September‚ everyone thought that the new AirPods Pro model was going to be exactly the same as its predecessor‚ but with a new USB-C Charging Case. That's what all the rumors said‚ after all. But as it turns out‚ that's not entirely true. Apple's new AirPods Pro with USB-C offer the same great sound quality and noise cancelling as the earlier model that came with a Lightning port on the MagSafe charging case. They also look exactly the same‚ aside from the bottom of the case. They're not huge upgrades‚ but there are a couple of new features that Apple fans should be aware of. First‚ the new model will support Lossless Audio with Apple Vision Pro. If you plan to buy Apple's exciting new spatial computer‚ you'll definitely want a pair of these earphones. And second‚ the new AirPods Pro with USB-C have an upgraded IP54 rating for both the earbuds and the charging case. That means they're more water-resistant and dust-resistant than before. Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Generation) Wireless Ear Buds with USB-C Charging‚ Up to 2X More Active… Price: $179.99 You Save: $69.01 (28%) Buy Now Those upgrades‚ plus the new USB-C Charging Case‚ come at the same exact cost as the earlier model that had a Lightning case. But right now‚ as I said‚ AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C are on sale at the lowest price ever for this generation. Instead of paying the same $249 that you'll pay to Apple‚ you can score AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C with a huge discount. That drops your cost to $179.99 whether you buy them at Amazon or Best Buy. That's a fantastic price for the best earphones that Apple has ever made.

After Epic Games announced Fortnite would be coming to iPhone users in Europe‚ the developers are now preparing the release of their popular battle royale to the iPad as well. Yesterday‚ BGR reported that the European Commission wants iPadOS to comply with the Digital Markets Act law. While the iPad doesn't exactly meet DMA's criteria‚ the region understands the platform also needs to be regulated. With that‚ all changes already available to the iPhone must come to the iPad in the next six months. One of these changes is the availability of third-party app stores. Epic Games was one of the first developers to announce it would release its Epic Games Store for the region. Still‚ apart from Apple's App Store‚ the only marketplace available is AltStore PAL by Delta's developers. Epic Games Newsroom wrote in a post on X: &;quot;Today‚ the European Commission said that iPads must also comply with the Digital Markets Act. We're moving full steam ahead to bring Fortnite and the Epic Games Store to iPhones in the EU soon and iPads this year.&;quot; https://twitter.com/epicnewsroom/status/1784978618344456484&;#63;s=61&;t=F4NK9Ow-cMna-Cegzp8Dzg That said‚ we should soon expect Fortnite to make its comeback for the iPhone in Europe‚ while the app for iPad might only come at the end of the year‚ as it doesn't seem Apple will ready this change for iPadOS 17 but most likely‚ for iPadOS 18. The other changes expected for European users include: New framework and APIs for creating alternative app marketplaces: Enabling marketplace developers to install apps and manage updates on behalf of other developers from their dedicated marketplace app. New frameworks and APIs for alternative browser engines: Enabling developers to use browser engines other than WebKit for browser apps and apps with in-app browsing experiences. Interoperability request form: Where developers can submit additional requests for interoperability with iPhone and iOS hardware and software features. Changes to Safari: Reflecting the DMA’s requirements‚ Apple must also offer a screen with several browsers users can choose from as their main options. BGR will let you know once Fortnite becomes available for iPhone users in Europe and later this year for iPads.
