Enlarge One of the smallest members of Apple's product lineup may get a useful update this year. According to a Bloomberg report, Apple is working on new models of its AirPod wireless earbuds. One could debut later this year with an updated wireless chip and another with a water-resistant design may come out in 2019. AirPods arrived in 2016 alongside the iPhone 7 as a solution to the smartphone's lack of headphone jack.
