Apple’s first crack at cable-less Bluetooth headphones is due for a successor in the not-so-near future, and, so far, we’ve been hearing that updated AirPods will be coming at the end of this year with a Siri agent that will always be listening, and the W2 Bluetooth connectivity chip that made a cameo in the latest Apple Watch Series 3. The W2 chip makes Bluetooth and Wi-Fi 50% more power efficient than the previous W1 chip design that is in the current AirPods, so the upgrade in terms of battery life may be quite significant.
