Since the code of the latest iOS 13 beta appeared the image of a new headset called Powerbeats 4, there have been many rumors that pointed to the launch of this fourth generation would be near. However, with the coronavirus rampant around the world, all events have been canceled.
But not only the events, but also all the Apple Stores that Apple has spread all over the world, they have closed their doors, except those of China. However, it seems that the launch of the Powerbeats 4 is imminent, so imminent that it is already available in Walmart stores, specifically in one located in a county in New York.
The image that heads this article, made by a user and echoed by the main American media, confirm the rumors related to the characteristics that we will find in this fourth generation. On the one hand, starting with the colors: black, white and red.
Another piece of information that only confirms that it really is the new generation of Powerbeats is the battery life, duration that is shown on the outside of the box and that reaches 15 hours, just as the rumors pointed out. The Powebeats 4 are managed by the H1 chip so they are compatible with the voice command "Hey Siri" and offer us the same functions as the AirPods and AirPods Pro.
What does not add up so much is the price. The Powerbeats 3 are available for $ 199 in the United States, while at Walmart the fourth generation marks $ 149. It is likely that since it is not an Apple Store, you can play with the price, but not if it is an item that has just arrived on the market.
Most likely, it is a mistake made by the Walmart workers, a mistake that they will quickly solve by removing it from the shelves. If we take into account that on the occasions when this same error has happened, the launch time is just a few days, It is more than likely that the Powerbeats 4 will be released this week.
