The new AirPods are sweat- and water-resistant and will have sound features that were previously found in the higher-end AirPods Pro. Apple says the new AirPods will cost $179. The new AirPods will support spatial audio and feature a new design similar to the AirPod Pro. The case will charge magnetically and feature a six-hour battery life.

The company will also launch a $99 smart speaker HomePod Mini that will come in a variety of colors.

Apple has faced supply-chain issues that have mostly impacted the iPad and Mac. The company has considered cutting its iPhone production goals for the year due to chip shortages.
