Buried in Monday’s iOS 12.2 release are images and an animation of Beats’ previously-rumored, unreleased AirPods equivalent, referred to as “Powerbeats Pro.”

The product superficially resembles the Powerbeats3<\/a>, including its signature earhooks. The Pro is completely wireless, however, unlike the Powerbeats 3, which has a cord connecting both earpieces.<\/p>\n

Black and white versions should be available, and the headphones will ship with a clamshell charging case, different from the gum-dispenser style used by AirPods.<\/p>\n

References to the Powerbeats Pro were discovered<\/a> by Chance Miller and 9to5Mac<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Inclusion in iOS 12.2 could mean a release is around the corner. Last week, a report suggested that a fully wireless Powerbeats model would ship in April<\/a>. It may include the H1 chip from Apple’s second-generation AirPods, enabling power-efficient operation and new features like “Hey Siri” support.<\/p>\n

While AirPods are more compact, Powerbeats are better equipped for fitness and sports thanks to their earhooks, which prevent buds from falling out, and a sweatproof design. AirPods aren’t officially water-resistant, which risks electrical shorts or even low-level electrocution.<\/p>\n
