The new generation Apple AirPod is generating a lot of excitement: we saw yesterday what the new charger could look like, and today, reports from China suggest new colors.
According to the Economic Daily News, we could see up to eight colors, according to internal sources. These colors tend to include black, white, and green.
The new story also confirms some of the details of the future AirPods Pro or AirPods 3 that we have heard: better noise cancellation and air tightness, making it an optimal upgrade for these headphones.
Of course, the new AirPods were revealed earlier this year, but the update was minor, emphasizing a faster association between a few other tweaks. The next generation could be a bigger update.

Since their first appearance in late 2016, AirPods have been a huge success for Apple. By industry estimates, they could replace up to 80 million pairs of truly wireless earbuds by 2020.
An update in late 2019 would certainly help increase this number. A launch before Christmas is now widely forecast.
Meanwhile, Apple's competitors are doing their best to reduce their market share in AirPods: Google has recently unveiled its new Pixel Buds, which will arrive in 2020, while Microsoft will put the Surface headphones on sale. end of the year
We are now seeing so many leaks and rumors about AirPods 3 or AirPods Pro that it would not be surprising to hear something from Apple very soon, maybe even in the next few weeks.
