NEW Apple AirPods could launch today – just in time for Christmas.
The hugely popular wireless earbuds are expected to be revamped, according to industry insiders.

This week, a special Apple event was confirmed to take place on September 14.
We’re expecting the new iPhone 13, the Apple Watch 7 and a new 2021 iPad.
But a new pair of AirPods could be on the way.
As spotted by Dave Zatz and 9to5Mac, a revamped version of the iPhone’s wireless MagSafe charger has been added to the FCC database.
The FCC is the comms and tech watchdog in America, and vets electronics before they go on sale.
In the document, we see a technical sketch depicting an AirPods case on top of the MagSafe charger.
This is already possible, although the AirPods don’t snap to the MagSafe charger like the iPhone does.
A new version of the AirPods could have MagSafe magnets built in, to snap to the MagSafe charger and power up wirelessly.
Apple launched the AirPods back in 2016, releasing a second-generation in 2019.
The firm has also released more premium AirPods Pro, and expensive over-the-head AirPods Max.
Standard AirPods have since become a cultural icon and coveted accessory – and are now commonly seen around the world.
Some AirPods models offer wireless charging, so better support for MagSafe would be great news for fans.
Recent rumours suggest that the new AirPods will borrow the smaller design of the AirPods Pro.
But it’s expected that these entry-level AirPods won’t get the active noise cancellation seen on the Pro versions.
