Apple Music HiFi and new AirPods are on the way, but don't expect a special Keynote

At the spring event, Apple presented us with a nice line of new products, but it didn't get to something. Among the expected but not presented accessories, the new AirPods were often mentioned. Apple probably intends to combine their launch with a new version of Apple Music HiFi, which will be aimed at demanding listeners. Apple Music's biggest competitor, Sweden's Spotify, announced a new subscription for lovers of quality listening in February this year. His new service is called HiFi and should be available later this year. Tidal is also targeting demanding listeners, which already offers significantly higher quality streaming music compared to its competition.

According to a music website Hits Daily Double, which is based on information from people in the music industry, plans to have a similar stream quality to Apple Music. This will bring subscribers a higher data flow and thus better listening quality. However, Apple Music already offers the "Digital Masters" catalog, which the company launched in 2019. This should cover 75% of the most listened content in the US and 71% of the TOP 100 most listened content in the rest of the world. In this quality, you should find recordings from Taylor Swift, Paul McCartney, Billie Eilish and more. 

3rd generation AirPods 

Apple says that you can already recognize the quality of "Digital Masters" on the second-generation AirPods. As for the third-generation AirPods, Apple analyst Ming-Chi-Kuo said they are not expected to be released until the third quarter of this year. But Apple Music HiFi could be announced as early as iOS 14.6, which is currently in its 2nd beta (but there are no mentions of this feature yet).

Apple could introduce Apple Music HiFi alongside the 3rd generation AirPods only in the form of a press release, especially if the headphones do not bring any major changes, which they are not expected to. They should have a design combining AirPods 2nd generation with AirPods Pro, but in terms of functions, they should be more similar to the basic model. The novelty could get a pressure switch to easily control music and receive calls. A longer battery life per charge, which should be provided by the new Apple H2 chip, would definitely be welcomed. Chile is also speculating about the permeability regime.
