Apple recently launched the second iteration of its popular AirPods. However, the latest report from DigiTimes suggests that the third generation of the wireless earphones will drop as soon as the end of 2019.

That said, 9to5Mac reported that known analyst Ming-Chi Kuo of TF Industries expects the Cupertino-based company will launch two more AirPods models by the end of 2019 and the first half of 2020.

One of two will have similar stemmed aesthetics, while the 2020 version will come with a totally new design. While Kuo did not share any more details, it is likely that noise canceling and water-resistance are in the works.

Also, the new iterations are expected to carry the same pricing as the AirPods 2. The Q4 2019 AirPods will be $159 and the overhauled 2020 model will be $199, Kuo hints.

As for the latest AirPods 2, the new version offers a better battery life, smart Siri integration, and an optical wireless charging case. Also, they support "Hey Siri" smart assistant which allows users to command the voice assistant to make calls, switch songs, and more.
