Overview
- Newly shared photos show first-generation AirPods charging cases with vivid pink and yellow exteriors, while the earbuds and case interiors remain white.
- The color scheme resembles the iPhone 5c palette, a comparison made in coverage of the leak from prototype collector Kosutami.
- Reports from MacRumors, 9to5Mac, and others corroborate the publication of the images and place them within Apple’s history of testing unreleased designs.
- Earlier 2023 reporting from the same leaker said Apple explored multiple AirPods colors to align with the iPhone 7 lineup but ultimately did not proceed.
- There is no indication that Apple plans to offer colored AirPods now, and AirPods Max remains the only model with multiple color options.
