iOS 13.2 code strings point to possible noise-canceling feature for third-generation AirPods

Once again, it’s the beta code that shows some of the neat things down the road.

According to reports, code strings have been found within the current iOS 13.2 beta that reveal that Apple may release in-ear AirPods with noise cancelation.

The new AirPods may also have different listening modes so users can enable or disable the noice cancelation, called “Focus Mode.” An icon for this model is found within accessibility settings, and could work as hearing aids with Live Listen. The new AirPods have the model code “B298.”

Some media reports have surfaced stating that Apple will hold an event later this month, and perhaps demo the updated AirPods alongside new products like the 2019 Mac Pro and Apple’s rumored Bluetooth speakers.

Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
