Apple's Beats Pill Bluetooth Speaker Set to Make a Comeback

TapTechNews May 22nd news, currently, Apple's Beats Pill Bluetooth speaker has passed FCC certification, with the model shown as A3211, supporting 2.402-2.48 GHz Bluetooth transmission.

This indicates that Apple's Beats Pill is ready for sale in the US and is expected to be officially announced soon, most likely at some time in June along with the Beats Solo Buds headphones.

In fact, Apple has invited various celebrities to warm up and build momentum for this Bluetooth speaker. For example, NBA superstar LeBron James and F1 driver Daniel Ricciardo were found carrying this speaker in the street photography last month, as well as football star Lionel Messi and socialite Kim Kardashian have also shown that they own the Beats Pill.

Unfortunately, we still know nothing about its parameters. This speaker has previously appeared in the iOS 17.5 code and still seems to adopt the same pill design as other Pill speakers and is equipped with a lanyard that was not on the previous model.

The first-generation Beats Pill wireless Bluetooth speaker was launched in 2012, when Apple had not yet acquired Beats Electronics. In the following years, the first-generation Pill speaker has undergone several updates, and the most recent update was the replacement version Pill+ launched after Apple took over in 2015, which is equipped with a Lightning interface.

The Beats Pill+ model has quietly been discontinued in early 2022, and the exposed video today seems to indicate that the Pill series is about to return. Combined with the development trend of Apple's product line, the new version of Pill may be equipped with a Type-C interface for charging.

At the same time, compared to the Pill+ released nearly nine years ago, the new version will definitely bring significant improvements in Bluetooth and other technologies. However, the specific information about the new Pill is currently unknown, and TapTechNews will keep following up.
