If you recall, it was reported that the Apple PowerBeats Pro 2 would launch today. A successor to the PowerBeats Pro launched in May 2019, the new model is expected to provide ample reasons to upgrade. In fact, someone already got to upgrade early.

According to a now-deleted Reddit post (via MacRumors), a Walmart customer purchased the Apple PowerBeats Pro 2 early, before the official launch scheduled for later today. The user said that the new model was spotted in a local Walmart store and asked if he could buy it and the store agreed. Allegedly, the customer was able to buy the rumoured Electric Orange variant.

Based on a teaser video from last year, the PowerBeats Pro 2 is slimmer and will be worn vertically. It will also feature the Apple H2 chip for better audio and active noise cancellation, which its predecessor lacked. The new model can also monitor the user's heart rate and will have a longer battery life.

The PowerBeats Pro 2 is expected to retail for USD 249 (~RM1113), which makes it pricier than its predecessor too. Would you be interested in upgrading to it? Let us know in the comments below and stay tuned to TechNave for more news like this.
