近月爆料 YouTuber Jon Prosser 不斷放出大量蘋果產品新情報，從 iPhone、Mac 機都有，最近他更發功預測蘋果有兩個新耳機出現。

在 Jon Prosser 口中，兩款都是蘋果傳聞中會推出的耳機系列，包括一部代號 B515 的蘋果頭戴式耳機，定位像 Beats 700 般，預計在 WWDC 發佈，售價達 US$350。另一部是代號 B517 的 AirPods X，定位像 Beat X 般運動用，或在 9 月和 10 月發佈，售價達 US$200。

You ready for this? ?

End goal: phase out Beats ?

Jon Prosser 一更在帖中表示「End goal: phase out Beats」，雖然對蘋果來說 Beats 仍然是重要品牌，但是蘋果以自家品牌推出新的頭戴式耳機，相信會有更大反響。Jon Prosser 後來回覆質疑時指蘋果不會突然淘汰 Beats 品牌，但 AirPods 的品牌意義在蘋果眼中大於 Beats，令蘋果傾向以蘋果品牌推出頭戴式耳機，直至蘋果品牌耳機產品線開始成熟之後，才會淘汰 Beats 品牌。

We’ve all been asking why Apple seems to want to make more headphones if they already own Beats.

Well, here’s the answer.

The AirPods brand is more meaningful and valuable to Apple than Beats.

They wanna make everything in-house and ship with an Apple logo instead.

Seems like people need clarification on what I mean by “end goal is to phase out Beats”

It doesn’t mean they’re trying to kill the Beats brand TOMORROW.

They’re building up the Apple/AirPods product line – THEN they will phase out Beats in favor of the finished lineup.
