  • Apple submitted two FCC fillings at the beginning of April, which we assume are for the Beats Studio Buds Plus.
  • The filings are for wireless earbuds with model numbers A2871 and A2872.
  • We suspect an official announcement this summer.

It seems Apple’s next set of earbuds won’t be a pair of AirPods but, instead, a pair of Beats. Apple owns Beats, and the Cupertino company submitted FCC filings earlier this month for the Beats Studio Buds Plus. These filings list separate model numbers for each earbud (A2871 and A2872).

Apple released the Beats Studio Buds on June 24, 2021, so we expect a June debut for the Studio Buds Plus too. According to 9to5Mac, the Studio Buds Plus will support automatic device switching, “Hey, Siri,” and audio sharing when paired to an iPhone. The Beats Studio Buds had these features, so it makes sense for Apple to retain them on the newer buds. Similar to the original earbuds, the Beats Studio Buds Plus likely will not house Apple’s proprietary H2 chip. Instead, we may see another MediaTek chip like the first-generation Studio Buds.
