Alongside the announcement of the brand-new iPhone 15, Apple announced the AirPods Pro (2nd gen) at yesterday\u2019s (Tuesday 12th September) event. Here\u2019s everything we know about the device so far.<\/p>\n Sponsored by Box.co.uk<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Some of the most exciting changes that came with the new iPhone 15 were the introduction of the Dynamic Island on all four models, the Action button which is replacing the ring\/silent switch, and the USB-C port instead of the lightning cable. If you\u2019re looking to try out these new features on the iPhone 15, then you\u2019re in luck \u2013 it\u2019s available to pre-order right now from Box.co.uk!\u00a0<\/p>\n As well as all four models of the iPhone 15, including the iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max, Box.co.uk also has Apple products in abundance, such as smartwatches, AirPods, and iPads.<\/p>\n Pre-order the iPhone 15 from \u00a3799 at Box.co.uk<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n <\/p><\/div> For more on audio, be sure to take a look at the best DAB radios<\/a>, Audible deals<\/a> for this month, and our Apple Music vs Spotify<\/a> and Amazon Music vs Spotify<\/a> guides.<\/strong><\/p>\n Plus, for the latest drops, such as the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 release date<\/a> and Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 release date<\/a>, stay up to date with our Technology<\/a> newsletter.<\/strong><\/p>\n The 2nd generation of the Apple AirPods Pro will be available to pre-order from today (Wednesday 13th September), and available to buy outright one week later, on Friday 22nd September.<\/p>\n Pre-order the AirPods Pro (2nd gen) for \u00a3229 at Apple<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n The AirPods Pro (2nd generation) with the MagSafe Charging Case (USB\u2010C) will be available to pre-order for \u00a3229 at the Apple website and other UK retailers starting from today.<\/p>\n Pre-order the AirPods Pro (2nd gen) for \u00a3229 at Apple<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Apple\u2019s AirPods have a very distinct look; with the one White colourway and stem design, and the brand-new AirPods Pro (2nd gen) follows this template, too. The AirPods Pro (2nd gen) come in White, have an unsealed fit, and contoured stems.<\/p>\n However, unlike other standard AirPods \u2014 but like the AirPods Pro \u2014 the new wireless earbuds have touch-based controls for adjusting the volume; to access these, AirPods wearers simply use their index finger to swipe up or down on the touch control area. This is a handy feature which means the listener doesn\u2019t have to use a device, such as their iPhone, to adjust the volume.<\/p>\n The AirPods Pro (2nd gen) will come with an all-white MagSafe charging case with a speaker, as well as a lanyard loop.<\/p>\n With Apple announcing the iPhone 15 has moved from a lightning cable to a USB-C charging port, you might be wondering if the 4th generation AirPods will make the same transformation. Let\u2019s find out.<\/p>\n If you like listening to your music, podcasts and audiobooks out loud, be sure to take a look at the Sonos Move 2 release date<\/a> page for all of your portable speaker needs.<\/strong><\/p>\n The rumours are true: as the iPhone 15 moves from a lightning cable to USB-C charging port, so do the brand-new AirPods Pro (2nd gen). The main reason for this shift is that new EU regulations require all products to use the universal connectivity standard by 2024.<\/p>\n Like its predecessors, the 2023 AirPods utilises automatic ear detection to pause content when you remove your AirPods, and resumes it when you re-insert them \u2014 so you\u2019ll never miss the final chorus of Olivia Rodrigo\u2019s Driver\u2019s License when you take your earphones to talk to them. The AirPods Pro (2nd gen) also use Apple\u2019s Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking, which makes it seem like the sound is coming from all around you.<\/p>\n Also like the AirPods which came before, the 2023 AirPods feature an IPX4 water-resistant rating, which makes them great for wearing outside, for example, when taking part in sports or even just getting caught in the rain.<\/p>\n A key difference between this new generation of Apple AirPods in comparison to the AirPods (3rd gen) is that it features the same H2 chip which is included in the AirPods Pro, instead of the H1 chip which is installed in the 2nd and 3rd generation AirPods. The H2 chip offers richer bass, clearer sound across a wider range of frequencies, and better acoustics. That\u2019s not all, the H2 chip is also accompanied by Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity which offers the user a faster and more reliable connection with a compatible device.<\/p>\n With the additional efficiency the H2 chip and Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity provides, the AirPods Pro (2nd gen) have an additional hour and a half of listening time.<\/p> The brand-new 2023 AirPods Pro (2nd gen) will be available to pre-order from today (Wednesday 13th September), and available to buy outright from the following Friday 22nd September.<\/p>\n Pre-order the AirPods Pro (2nd gen) for \u00a3229 at Apple<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n The wireless earbuds are available to pre-order from the Apple store, with other UK retailers also offering pre-orders.<\/p>\n Take a look at the top Apple Music offers<\/a> for this month and the best AirPods alternatives<\/a> for all things Apple audio.<\/strong><\/p> <\/body><\/html>\n At today’s Apple Wonderlust event, the tech giant revealed significant upgrades to its devices, as well as new product releases, and amongst these were the AirPods Pro (2nd gen).
