NBA superstar LeBron James was spotted at Saturday's playoff game in Denver sporting what appears to be a unreleased Pill speaker from Apple's Beats subsidiary.
James was seen carrying a new version of the Pill speaker which features a lanyard. At present, the company doesn't have a single speaker featured on its website, having discontinued the last of its Pill models in early 2022.
The Pill line of Bluetooth speakers was first introduced in 2012. The Pill+ released in in 2015.
In an Instagram reel posted by the LA Lakers, James can be seen arriving to the game in Denver. And, in the imagery, the branding is clear.
Any new Beats speaker is likely to sport a USB-C port and the latest Bluetooth technologies, along with revised sound and design. As this new Pill speaker hasn't yet been acknowledged by the company, pricing and a release date have not yet been revealed.

Looks more like an intro than a leak.
What do you call an intentional leak?
Only a certain type of person would walk around with a speaker dangling on a string.
Sadly James falls into that category 😏
The speaker looks like a giant tampon.
