Apple could be introducing its noise-canceling in-ear headphones on its next AirPods version. The said headphones with noise-canceling capabilities are expected to come along the iOS 13.2 beta launch.

A glyph image that surfaced the internet along with the beta build could be the public’s first look at Apple’s noise-canceling in-ear headphone. The next version of AirPods set to come with the capacity to screen out and even eliminate the unnecessary surrounding noises is anticipated to come together with the release of the iOS beta 13.2.

The 2D gray and white icon glyph image says a lot about how the next version of the Apple AirPods will look like. The ear tips say so much about how this version differs from previous releases and how serious the Cupertino tech giant is in creating a headphone design that actually reduces the sounds coming from the environment.

The two previous releases were designed to just sit on the ears with enough space allowing the outside noises to penetrate the ear. The leaked image of the upcoming AirPods, on the other hand, features extended tips also know as the in-ear to fit on the users’ ear better.

Along with the glyph image came a report that the iOS 13.2 beta will have a feature believed to be Apple’s noise cancellation name for its next version of AirPods. The beta will have a toggle on and off able “focus mode.”

Previous AirPods Leak Could Be True

If the glyph image will be the reference for how the actual noise-canceling in-ear AirPods will look like, then leaks over the past months about the upcoming AirPods were true. As early as last year, Apple has been reported to be preparing to launch its first-ever noise-canceling headphones to be released along the iOS 13.2.

Aside from Apple, a list of tech companies is also into creating their own noise-canceling wireless earbuds. An open-fit design with noise cancellation capability is what the latest Freebuds from Huawei to begin with.

Amazon’s upcoming Echo Buds integrated the noise reduction technology by borrowing the Bose technology. Sony also used the built-in noise cancellation technology on its 1000XM3 earbuds.
