Recently the analyst Ming-Chi Kuo ventured to say that in this 2020, Apple would launch a new version of a premium headphones, plus other new devices (updates rather). He is not going wrong when we now see that heThe American company has registered a new patent on how these new headphones would work.
According to the patent the headphones would take into account the position in which they are placed on our ears and it would also have touch panels. This may not be too novel, since these touch panels are already owned by other models from other brands, but the Apple thing goes a little further.
The new headphones will be very smart
According to the patent We see that the new premium range headphones will be very, very smart. In this Apple is unrivaled and we have the best example on AirPods Pro. With a very contained size they have been able to add touch controls, noise cancellation and resistance to sweat. Presumably, larger helmets are capable of including that and much more.
What is known so far is that could include a unique control scheme, consisting of touch gestures that work regardless of how the headphones are oriented on the head instead of dedicated function buttons. For this reason, the technology they would use would be innovative compared to other models that have touch panels.
We always say that being a patent, Apple may never release the technology in question. However, this time, hearing and reading rumors about the new premium headphones, which even Kuo has predicted, we are not so clear. Maybe Apple will use this patent for its new product. What I have more doubts is that they will be launched this year, at least in this way that Apple has patented.
