New Beats Studio Buds+ Leaked in iOS 16.4 RC [Image]

Apple accidentally leaked an image of unreleased Beats Studio Buds+ wireless earbuds in the release candidate for iOS 16.4, reports 9to5Mac.

Code-named 8214, the new Beats earbuds will have media controls for play/pause and also the option to press and hold to switch between noise-canceling modes. 9to5Mac has also obtained some images of the new earbuds, which show a new black color with gold details. The design is almost identical to the original Beats Studio Buds.

Although code found in iOS 16.4 RC shows that Beats Studio Buds+ will support audio sharing, automatic device switching, and "Hey Siri," sources tell the site that the new earbuds will still use a custom Beats chip instead of Apple's H1 or H2 chip.


The new earbuds also support active noise cancellation and transparency mode. It's unclear if they will replace the current Beats Studio Buds (currently on sale for 20% off) or if they will be sold alongside them. Presumably, the Beats Studio Buds+ will arrive soon after the release of iOS 16.4.
