Apple unveils updated AirPods Max: New colours, USB-C charging, and more

AirPods Max

At the highly anticipated ‘It’s Glowtime’ event, Apple unveiled updates to its AirPods lineup, including a refreshed version of the AirPods Max. Curiously, rather than launching a second-generation model, Apple introduced a subtly enhanced version of the original AirPods Max with a few key updates.

AirPods Max will be available to pre-order starting today, with availability in stores beginning Friday, September 20. AirPods Max are priced at Rs 59,900.

First released in 2020, the AirPods Max were the first premium, over-ear headphones from Apple. Rumours were rife about Apple debuting the AirPods Max 2. However, the company instead opted for a mild refresh that focuses on new colours.

The updated AirPods Max will now be available in five fresh shades: Starlight, Midnight, Purple, Orange, and Blue.

Apple has made a significant change to the charging port on the AirPods Max. This is more because of European Union’s strict regulations imposed on tech companies. Apple has made the transition of Type-C to almost its entire product range

Apple also revealed that the updated AirPods Max will support new features with the upcoming iOS 18 update. Notably, the headphones will offer Personalized Spatial Audio, a feature previously exclusive to the AirPods Pro. However, Apple did not specify whether this update includes any internal hardware changes, such as an upgraded H2 chip.
