‘AirPods Ultra’ launching later this year sounds more likely than ever
Apple is reportedly planning to launch a high-end new model of AirPods later in 2026, likely branded as 'AirPods Ultra,' featuring infrared cameras, hand gesture support, and a next-generation H3 chip.

The new model is expected to cost around $299, positioning it as a premium, futuristic product within Apple's audio lineup. Recent reports and analyst commentary suggest this launch represents a major new product category for Apple.
