Apple may announce the AirPods 5, including regular and noise‑cancelling models, as early as its September 9 product event, according to a Bloomberg report. The company last refreshed its entry‑level AirPods in 2024 and had previously expected a 2027 launch, while a camera‑equipped version is slated for 2025. The same event is expected to feature a new Mac mini, the iPhone 18 Pro lineup, and updated Apple Watch series with a ceramic case option. Apple is developing two camera‑equipped AirPods that will incorporate Visual Intelligence and Siri, though those models are not expected until next year. A demo video of the camera AirPods was briefly included in a macOS update but did not reveal design changes. The timeline for the AirPods 5 remains unconfirmed, and Apple has not announced the products officially.
