Apple may launch AirPods 5 alongside the new iPhones

Apple may unveil AirPods 5 at its September iPhone event.

References found in macOS Tahoe 26.7 RC code suggest standard and ANC-equipped versions could arrive together.

The launch could refresh Apple’s long-unchanged entry-level earbuds with potential chip and feature upgrades.

Camera-equipped AirPods are reportedly still delayed until 2027.
