The website PatentlyApple recently reported that Apple has recently obtained an AirPods Pro design patent issued by the World Intellectual Property Organization in The Hague, Netherlands. The “Pair of Earphones” design patent, numbered D9i77460, is titled AirPods Pro and is accompanied by 10 product photos from different angles.
New AirPods Pro
As long as you pay close attention to the attached drawings of the patent application documents, it is not difficult to find that the body of this earphone is obviously different from the AirPods Pro currently on sale, that is, the position of the earphone handle is slightly curved, but other parts of the body, including the in-ear earbuds etc. are roughly the same as the current AirPods Pro design. Since the design patent application does not need to provide specifications and configuration information, we have no way of knowing what specification changes the AirPods Pro in the picture has.
Add new chargers at the same venue
In addition, PatentlyAppl also stated that Apple has obtained a design patent for a 35W dual USB-C small charger in Hong Kong, which, as the name implies, is a charger that provides two USB-C outputs. It is temporarily unknown when the above two new designs will be launched, or even whether they will be commercialized in the end.
