Apple AirPods

The Apple Hearing Study, run in collaboration with the University of Michigan, is out with new findings this week that highlight the importance of the Apple’s hearing health features for AirPods.

Apple has just released brand new firmware for users of AirPods Pro 3. Here are the details.

iOS 27’s unveiling is a little over one month away, and Siri’s major overhaul is set to make not only the iPhone feel far more powerful, but AirPods too.

Apple has new AirPods launching later this year that we’ve been referring to as a high-end AirPods Pro model, but recent reporting now makes it seem more likely that they’ll be the first ‘AirPods Ultra.’

In the run-up to Earth Day next week, Apple has highlighted its latest environmental progress. This includes the use of 100% recycled materials in three categories. The company is also offering a 10% discount on AirPods and other accessories when you recycle an eligible product.

The company today published its latest annual Environmental Progress Report, which tracks Apple’s timeline toward its goal of being carbon neutral across its entire footprint by the end of this decade …

Apple released the AirPods Pro 3 back in September of 2025. I have been living with them and using them every single day since then. I have used them for everything from workouts and runs to Zoom calls, travel, and just everyday listening. What has truly stood out to me isn’t how good they sound for the size, or how they are just about as good as their $550 AirPods Max 2 counterpart, but how Apple has actually improved them over the last 7ish months of owning them. Here is how they have held up, how they’ve improved, and what Apple can still add to them.

AirPods Pro 3 (currently $199 for limited time) pack a lot of improvements over AirPods Pro 2, one of which helps prevent them from getting permanently lost.

It’s no surprise that the iPhone is behind the iconic shot of Earth from NASA’s Artemis II lunar flyby mission. It turns out the iPhone isn’t the only Apple product being used by astronauts in space.

I have avoided the AirPods Max since their original release in 2020. I could never justify the $550 price tag, especially when the AirPods Pro line was much cheaper, offered more features, and had a more convenient form factor. I knew there was a target customer for these high-end headphones, but at the time, it wasn’t me. Then Apple dropped the true successor to the Gen 1 AirPods Max and added a lot of the features and internal hardware that the AirPods Pro 3 received earlier in 2025. So I decided to pick up a pair, and while the AirPods Max 2 are objectively great headphones, what it truly did was show me just how incredible the AirPods Pro 3 are. Let me explain.

You know the drill: new Apple product, new iFixit teardown. Here’s what they found when they dug into the new AirPods Max 2.

AirPods Pro 3 just arrived last fall, but reporting indicates Apple has another new AirPods Pro model coming this year. Here are three rumored new features.

In a new interview, Apple has shed more light on the engineering work behind AirPods Max, including the H2 chip and upgraded ANC.

After a five-year wait, AirPods Max 2 have officially arrived. They aren’t a dramatic rethink of the product or the form factor, but they bring some much-needed modernization courtesy of the new H2 chip inside.

I’ve been wearing AirPods Max for the last 6 days, here’s what I think.

iPhone users wearing headphones can now instantly translate conversations across more than 70 languages using Google Translate. Here’s how it works.

The third of Apple’s three anticipated developments this week has arrived. Apple’s recently announced AirPods Max 2 headphones are now available for pre-order.
