Apple AirPods and 29W Power Adapter Prototypes Leak in Images Featuring Translucent Design

Apple replaced the 29W Power Adapter with a 30W USB Type-C Power Adapter in 2018.






Apple AirPods and Apple 29W charger prototypes have leaked online. A popular tipster has shared photos of AirPods and Apple's 29W USB-C Power Adapter featuring a transparent design on Twitter. In the renders, Apple's design process is visible through the plastic shell. The translucent design in the leaked images gives a glimpse of the product's internal mechanism as well. However, the Cupertino-based tech giant has not revealed any plans to unveil transparent AirPods or chargers.

Well-known Apple device collector Giulio Zompetti shared images of transparent prototypes of Apple AirPods and Apple 29W USB-C Power Adapter on Twitter. The images of AirPods show a transparent plastic case for the earbuds shell and the stem. The inner side of the true wireless stereo (TWS) earbuds is seen with the normal white plastic as well. It is unclear which models of the AirPods the renders represent, but these are likely to be either the first or second-generation AirPods.

Apple AirPods and AirPods Pro are currently available in a White colour option only. So the leaked images are likely to be of a prototype used for internal testing by engineers to get a closer look at the design.

Currently, Nothing Ear 1 TWS earphones, launched by the UK-based firm led by OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei, feature a transparent outer casing and charging case. The earphones were launched in India in July this year and are priced at Rs. 6,999.

The prototype of Apple's 29W USB-C Power Adapter is also seen with a transparent casing. The 29W power adapter arrived with the 12-inch MacBook back in 2015, but Apple discontinued it in 2018 and replaced it with its 30W USB-C Power Adapter. The accessory currently retails for Rs. 4,900 in India.

Separately, Apple is reportedly working on a multi-device charger. The exact launch date of the product is not known at this moment.

Redmi Note 11S First Impressions: When Specs Trump Design

  Xiaomi's smartphone portfolio is a bit confusing at the moment, as the company continues to launch new phones at a rapid pace. The latest additions include the Redmi Note 11 and the Redmi Note 11S which  fill out a new Redmi 11 generation. We don't yet have new Pro or Pro Max models in this new series to replace the wildly popular Redmi Note 10 Pro (Review) at its price level, but the new Redmi Note 11S, which we'll be looking at today, could offer what you're looking for but at a lower price.

While there's still a lot of testing to be done before our full review is ready, here's a quick first look ...
