During Monday’s It’s Glowtime iPhone 16 launch event, Apple announced a new generation the AirPods 4. Last year, when Apple put a USB-C connector in the iPhone 15, it stuck one in the charging case for the second generation AirPods Pro, too. That’s the version Apple is sticking with for now — but the buds are getting a ton of new hearing features as a software update this fall. The AirPods Max got some updates too, but the AirPods 4 were the only net-new audio devices.
As for the new buds, the most notable features are probably addition of the optional active noise cancellation. They got for $129 without noise cancellation and $179 with it. They’re available for preorder now and will land in stores on September 20. Here’s how to pre-order them now.
