AirPods are considered to be the most popular headphones in the world, beloved for their effortless setup, iconic design and incredible sound quality.

There have been ongoing rumors regarding this AirPods design since early 2018 when Ming-Chi Kuo talked about Apple’s personal brand of headphones. However, recent rumors suggest that talks over the design and build of this latest AirPods have been going on since 2016, that is 4 years prior to its release on Tuesday.
Apple launched its first Airpods back in 2016 December, that is exactly 4 years from now. Prolific Apple leaker reposted a photo of a tweet from Dinesh Dave talking about the AirPods Max being the last product he signed about 4 years ago. Ryan further went on to say that the company saw the rapid increase in demand of the original AirPods immediately after its launch in 2016 and had started the design for the latest model that is finally out for pre-order.
