Apple did not announce a new version of AirPods Pro at the recent WWDC. However, there were updates related to AirPods, such as a new high-quality, high-sample-rate Bluetooth option for audio capture in iOS 26, designed specifically for content creators. This feature allows apps to use AirPods for high-quality recording, similar to a lavalier microphone. Additionally, AirPods can now be used for remote camera control, allowing users to capture photos by clicking on the AirPods stem. These updates enhance the functionality of existing AirPods models but do not indicate the release of a new AirPods Pro model.
