In the meantime, we've put together a wish list of all the things we would want to see if the Powerbeats Pro 2 actually materialize.Ĭan't wait to find out? We've gathered the best Powerbeats Pro prices below, so you can get your hands on the original true wireless earbuds. Whether the FCC filing relates to a brand new model or some minor tweaks remains to be seen. MacRumors says that, "if you've recently purchased Powerbeats Pro, you can check the fine print on the inside of each earpiece" to see whether they correspond with the new A2453/A2454 model numbers. So, it could be that newer Powerbeats Pro models have been given a few adjustments without any announcement from Apple. MacRumors believes the filing represents "a minor internal tweak to the existing models that will soon be or has already been quietly released without any announcement or changes to public-facing specs".

Some outlets are reporting that the FCC filing describes "a minor tweak" to the Powerbeats Pro, rather than a truly new model – perhaps in a similar vein to the AirPods (2019), which replaced the 2016 AirPods, or even as a mere software update. Without photos or documentation there’s not a whole lot of information available inside the brief other than the wireless frequency the earphones will operate on (2.402-2.48 GHz) and some really technical information about the kind of wireless transmitter it will have inside.
Powerbeats 3 update manual#
Unfortunately, Apple requested that the FCC withhold external photographs, internal photographs, test setup photographs and the user manual until October, so it will be awhile before we can confirm our suspicions. The FCC ID BCGA2453 describes ‘totally wireless high-performance earphones’ and corresponds to Apple’s model numbers A2453 and A2454 – though whether those two different model numbers corresponds to two new versions of the Powerbeats Pro remains to be seen.
In April, Apple filed a new document with the FCC that appears to describe the Powerbeats Pro 2.

We thought the new buds could launch at WWDC 2020, but with no new hardware announcements, the next feasible release window is on October 13, when we're expecting to see the iPhone 12 – but again, no Powerbeats Pro 2 were to be seen.
