The high-end headphones have not been updated since and the company is still expected to take its sweet time before releasing the second generation.

The analyst mentions that Apple has three products in store for users in this time frame - HomePod mini 2, AirPods Max 2, and the budget variant of the AirPods. To be precise, Kuo states that Apple could either launch the products later in 2024 or early 2025.
The analyst only mentioned the time frame and did not say anything about the forthcoming features that will be part of the mix.
