A pair of model numbers recently discovered in multiple international regulatory filings hinted at a next-generation Beats headphone, but new information suggests the device may actually be related to an existing product that’s already in circulation.

It’s likely that the recently discovered models with updated numbering are largely similar to Apple’s current Powerbeats Pro.<\/span><\/div>\n

In April, the FCC approved<\/a> what appeared to be new Apple earphone models, A2453 and A2454, which suggested that an update to Powerbeats Pro<\/a> was on the way. Similar filings saw approval in Malaysia and South Korea.<\/p>\n

However, new evidence suggests that the model numbers reference a minor internal update that will be launched \u2014 or has launched \u2014 without an announcement. Specifically, Apple’s Declarations of Conformity<\/a> for the European Union already list the A2453\/A2454 model numbers as current products.<\/p>\n

Their listing on Apple’s webpage indicates that the company views the new model numbers \u2014 which individually refer to the right and left earbuds \u2014 as a current-generation product. Further, illustrations supplied with previous filings reveal an unaltered Powerbeats Pro design, the sole modification being a switch to A2453 and A2454 on the units’ regulatory declarations labels. <\/p>\n

MacRumors<\/em> reported the change to Apple’s regulatory database on Thursday<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While it’s currently unknown what changes the new models introduce, it is likely that there aren’t any major updates to public-facing specifications.<\/p>\n
