Another point of the report is the mention of the upcoming model of wireless headphones Apple AirPods, charging pad AirPower and wireless charging case for AirPods. According to Blayne Curtis, the new model of headphones will arrive in the fourth quarter of 2019, and after a long wait, we will see the pad and charging case in a month. Information about AirPods, however, contradicts previous reports from other analysts. Mark Gurman of the agency Bloomberg In February, Apple announced that a new version of the headphones would be released this year that would support the "Hey Siri". The third generation of headphones will arrive next year AirPods, which should be waterproof.

However, it is unclear whether the W1 chip, contained in AirThe podech, it handles this function. So only time will answer the question.
