I have compiled a comprehensive report covering all eight generations of AirPods, from the original 2016 launch to the latest AirPods Pro 3 and AirPods Max 2 released in late 2025.
The report details the technological evolution of the product line, highlighting the shift to the H2 chip which enables advanced features like heart rate sensing in the Pro 3 and Active Noise Cancellation in the open-ear AirPods 4.
