New images of prototype AirPods in vibrant pink and yellow have surfaced, showcasing Apple’s exploration of colorful designs that ultimately were not released. Although these colors were not made available to consumers, they highlight Apple’s history of testing various hues, including those intended to match the iPhone 7.
The leaker, Kosutami, previously disclosed that Apple evaluated colors like Pink, Product RED, Purple, Black, and Blonde for AirPods in 2023. Interestingly, the purple option for the iPhone 7 was cancelled. This recent prototype is reminiscent of the colorful iPhone 5c, a stark contrast to the standard white AirPods that have dominated the market for nearly a decade, with the exception of the AirPods Max.
This unveiling serves as another glimpse into unreleased Apple products, following previous revelations about items such as the AirPower charging mat and a black version of the Apple Vision headset. As Apple fans speculate on the potential release of colorful AirPods, interest remains high regarding what other innovations might emerge from the tech giant.
