The images (below) show AirPods Pro internal hardware, one of which has a notably more compact form. Leaked AirPods Pro 2 internal hardware (bottom) shows a much more compact design Mr White @laobaiTDInterestingly, Mr White says the images may mean Apple is making “two sizes” of AirPods Pro and introducing a more compact version as a new flagship pair of noise canceling earbuds makes sense. Not only are they associated with larger sizes, ‘AirPods Pro Max’ would also sound superior to Apple’s new $550 AirPods Max. Apple debuted the W1 chip in its original AirPods but replaced it with the H1 chip in their successors and the AirPods Pro. That said, with AirPods Pro retailing for $250 and AirPods Max a $300 step up, there’s a lot of room for Apple to bridge the gap.
