From versions of Apple’s (supposedly) upcoming over-ear headphones, the AirPods Studio – appeared online, there has been a lot of talk about them. There were many rumors, stating that AirPods Studio will debut alongside the iPhone 12 series during Apple’s event on October 13, but that never happened. Well, it looks like you will have to wait a little longer for them. Until March of next year, that is.
Well-known insider Jon Prosser tweeted that Apple will host an online event on March 16, 2021. And that the event will be spearheaded by AirPods Studio. Apple’s upcoming headphones will reportedly come equipped with the internal U1 chip. And thanks to this chip, the AirPods Studio will be able to identify the left and right ear of users on its own. This means that they have a reversible design and can be worn without thinking about the alignment of the L and R helmets.
Reversible design and U1 chip inside
Interestingly, Apple is working on two versions of the AirPods Studio: a luxury model that we saw in the leaked renders with a sleek design, and a more affordable sports model that will be made from cheaper materials. The luxury variant of the AirPods Studio will reportedly be priced at $ 599, while the sports model could cost a little less at $ 350.
Will on-screen Touch ID come to iPhones?
Earlier today, the trusted leaker @ L0vetodream tweeted something cryptic: “MESA uts for iPhone.” Yeah, it doesn’t make sense to me either. That’s when Prosser put his Apple tipster shoes back on and explained that “MESA” could be the internal codename for Touch ID and that “uts” means “under the screen.”
On-screen touch ID unlikely to happen anytime soon
Basically, we are considering the possibility that Apple will finally implement an in-display fingerprint sensor on its smartphones. However, it is not clear if we will see an on-screen Touch ID next year or the next. But given Apple’s newfound love for a side-mount fingerprint sensor (look at the fourth-gen iPad Air), we expect this trend to continue, and as a result, on-screen touch ID may take a while to arrive.
