This photo, which is said to be the next AirPods Pro, why is there a speaker in the case?

 I don't know if it's genuine.

First of all, I would like to say that MacRumors has taken a picture of the earphone & case called the next AirPods Pro .

The first thing to worry about is the presence of the speaker hole at the bottom. According to the image leaker, the "find" function in iOS 16 will allow you to search for earphones and cases separately, so this is a speaker for sounding notifications. There is also a metal strap hole on the side.

And the basic design of the earphones is the same as the current model, udon .

The change is that there is no optical sensor on the underside. This is because the skin detection sensor detects the wearing from the 3rd generation AirPods , so is it inherited? Is made.

I think it's a legitimate path to evolution to be a skin detection sensor, but isn't it going to get shorter? There was a rumor that this image is a little difficult to judge. MacRumors also needs to be suspicious to some extent because it is information from the leaker who has no track record in the past.

Assuming it's true, I think it's certainly convenient to be able to find the case by "searching", but I think the strap hole is a bit unfashionable.

No, I'm sure it would be convenient.
