The event was co-hosted by the U.S. Soybean Export Council and the…

Despite being praised for their sound quality, noise cancellation, and iconic design, Apple’s flagship headphones are being sidelined as the company prioritizes other products. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman revealed that Apple’s audio division is currently not working on a next-generation AirPods Max. Instead, resources are directed toward upcoming M5 Mac and iPad refreshes, new iPhones, an external display, and an updated HomePod. “It makes more sense for the company’s audio team to focus on cranking out new in-ear AirPods annually,…
