We’re also fairly confident that this is an Apple-sanctioned publicity stunt designed to build hype for a new Beats Pill speaker rather than an actual uncontrolled leak of said audio accessory. Either way, a lot of people familiar with Beats products seem convinced that what LeBron is rocking in that photo above is some sort of long overdue sequel to 2015’s Pill+.
That’s mostly because the Pill+ and the OG Pill never came with a handy carrying cord, but also because there’s absolutely no way that a legendary athlete with a net worth of over $1 billion would use (especially in public, and especially ahead of a big game) an archaic gadget discontinued more than two years ago.
Given how old the first-gen Beats Pill and the Pill Plus are, any 2024 sequel is guaranteed to bring massive improvements to the table in terms of everything from connectivity to overall audio performance and battery life, so we’re definitely (cautiously) excited about this somewhat unexpected product revival from Apple.
