'AirTags' & 'AirPods Studio' won't be announced at 'iPhone 12' event, says leaker

Last updated

Jon Prosser claims that Apple is delaying "AirTags" to March 2021, and that while the "AirPods Studio" headphones will not be launched in October, they are due soon and pricing will start at $350, with a $599 luxury model possible.

Ahead of Apple's October 13 event, regular leaker Jon Prosser has claimed that the rumored "AirTags" will no longer be feature. Instead, they are to be announced in March 2021.

He also further described the forthcoming Tile-like peripherals as having a "white front (no logo)." Specifically, the Apple logo will be on the polished metal back of the "AirTags."

Separately, Prosser has revealed more details of the "AirPods Studio" over-the-ear headphones, while stressing that these will not be released at the October 13 event.

In the Twitter thread, Prosser says that there will be at least two variations of the "AirPods Studio" headphones. One is to be a "luxury" model with "high quality" metal and leather highlights, which will retail for $599.

A second "sport-like variant" that is "made of cheaper materials," will start at $350. That would make them $100 more than the current AirPods Pro.

Previously, Prosser has said that an initial batch of "AirPods Studio" would be ready by the end of October, with shipping in November.

I don’t trust John, he doesn’t exactly have the best track record (according to Apple Track, last I looked he had a low 70% accuracy rating)

I did not know that Apple made cheap products. Maybe a more appropriate phrase is less expensive.

A luxury model for $599?  That's just ridiculous.

Apple has a lot in the pipeline. 

It’s understandable AirTags may need more time.  Hopefully there are no issues with engineering and final production tests.  I bet Apple is being more careful after AirPower was pulled

I disagree.  Apple has separate teams of people working on projects.  There is a team of people that work on AirTags so other products in the pipeline should have nothing to do with the AirTag team. 

I'm personally losing interest.  It's sounding more and more like an AirPower product than something that will actually be released.
