You
may
have
forgotten
about
the

Beats
Pill,
but
Apple
has
not,
and
it’s
getting
a
much-needed
refresh.

Spotted
on


The
Verge
via


9To5Mac’s
details
from
unnamed
sources,
the
Beats
Pill
is
being
modernized
and
will
feature
a
bevy
of
upgrades.
The
peripheral
has
been
on
ice
since
2022’s
discontinued
model,
the

Pill+.

Per

The
Verge:

Reported
upgrades
include
up
to
24
hours
of
battery
life,
IP67
water
resistance,
faster
and
more
reliable
device
pairing
/
switching
with
Bluetooth
5.3,
and
integrated
Find
My
tracking
on
both
Apple
and
Google’s
networks.
9to5Mac
also
says
Apple
plans
to
update
the
Pill’s
charge-out
and
input
ports
to
USB-C,
from
USB-A
out
and
Lightning
in.

According
to
reports,
the
new
Beats
Pill
will
also
have
a
detachable
strap
that
folks
like
LeBron
James
have
already
shown
off,
confirming
its
existence.

Sound
quality
will
also
improve,
offering
users
a
richer
experience,
a
product
of
the
new
Beats
Pills
redesigned
and
repositioned
drivers
and
tweeters.

According
to

9To5Mac,
all
that’s
left
is
pricing
and
the
launch
date,
and
we
could
use
the
latest
device
from
the
company
that
Dr.
Dre
built
sometime
this
Summer,
which
would
be
the
perfect
window
for
a
release.

The
Pill+
had
a
$230
price
tag,
so
we
can
expect
the
new
Beats
Pill
to
be
in
the
same
ballpark.
It
will
also
come
in
three
color
options:
black,
gold,
and
red.

We
will
keep
you
updated
when
Beats
formerly
announces
the
new
Beats
Pill;
until
then,
