Equally, it could just be part of keeping a lid on the cost of making the earbuds.įurthermore, the report claims that a good chunk of additional functionality is being introduced with the Beats Studio Buds Plus, so it’s not like the revamp isn’t pushing with new features and enhancements (if the claims are correct, at any rate). Why wouldn’t Apple want to use the H1/W1 with the Buds Plus? The concern is that this is more a matter of wanting to keep that tech to the AirPods as a purchase incentive. What has caused disappointment here is the initial assertion that Apple was moving to use its own chip rather than the custom Beats affair (that powers the Beats Studio Buds), which was subsequently retracted. In the latter case, we can obviously expect a price premium to be added, although the Buds Plus will remain in mid-range pricing territory – this should be more of a slight price bump, not a sizeable hike (we’d guess, anyway, but all of this is speculation, naturally). What isn’t clear is whether they will be a successor to the Beats Studio Buds, whether they'll replace them, or if they’ll be sold alongside the existing earbuds. Given that iOS 16.4 is on the verge of going out to iPhone owners, and that we have what are seemingly spilled images here, plus multiple sources chiming in on this, it seems a fair bet that the Beats Studio Buds Plus are indeed coming - and that they’ll probably be announced quite soon.

MacRumors also tapped its sources, who claimed that the incoming earbuds will indeed use a custom Beats chip, as seen with the existing Beats Studio Buds.Īnalysis: The Beats go on – but will the price go up?
