Apple was spotted working on the release of the new Beats Solo 4 after images of the device were found in the internal files of the latest build for iOS 17.4.
The design bears some similarity to last year's Beat Studio Pro, but the specific specs are still unknown.
Beats Solo 4 is Coming Soon
Apple recently released iOS 17.4 RC to developers and beta testers, and it is expected to drop to the public next week. Along with the updates in the App Store and App Marketplaces for EU users, the internal file included some images for the unreleased Beats Solo 4 headphones.
According to MacRumors, the Beats Solo 4 comes in three colors: black, pink and blue. The code also revealed that it supports Spatial Audio.
The upcoming headphones could have the same navigation as the Studio Pro. This includes pressing the "b" button to play, pause, or answer calls, double pressing to skip songs, and long pressing to activate Siri.
In addition, it is suspected that Apple will swap the usual Micro-USB port for a USB-C port, similar to the latest devices of the company.
Apple Beats Solo Headphones
It has been almost eight years since Apple released the Solo 3 headphones, along with the first generation of AirPods. It was also the first W1 chip-powered Apple headphones that allowed faster pairing with Apple devices.
The Beats Solo 3 Wireless boasts up to 40 hours of battery life and a fast-charging technology that can last a five-minute charge to three hours of playback.
Aside from the leaked information, the status of the Beats Solo 4 remains tightly sealed with Apple. For now, customers can still purchase the Beats Solo 3 for $199 and the Beats Studio Pro for $349.
