The Beats Studio Buds we heard rumors about last week from iOS code are about to be released And now there are regulatory filings to prove it

Documents discovered by MyHealthyApple reveal that Apple has received FCC approval for its new wireless earbuds, and while there is no new information about the Beats Studio Buds in the FCC documents, they are the most certain sign that a launch is imminent The most certain indication is that a launch is imminent

So far, the best evidence of the Beats Studio Buds' existence has come from Apple itself Last week, code hidden in iOS 146 mentioned the earbuds (Apple has since released iOS 146 to users)

From what we've heard, the Beats Studio Buds are designed specifically for fitness and are a bit more casual than typical sports headphones the design of the Beats Studio Buds is conical, with a flat part that presumably has a touch control sensors on the flat area, presumably for touch control

We imagine the Beats Studio Buds will be powered by Apple's H1 or W1 chips Noise-canceling features are also expected

There have been no rumors about a release date for the Beats Studio Buds, although FCC documents suggest that a launch is imminent However, this seems like the kind of product Apple would not hold for a launch event

In contrast to the AirPods 3, which is Apple's own new iteration of wireless earbuds and should introduce features such as lossless playback and spatial audio support, the AirPods 3 release date has moved a bit, but Apple watchers now believe that the earbuds has suggested that production will begin during the summer months That could suggest a fall release along with the iPhone 13
