Rumors suggest that the second-generation AirPods Max may not feature Adaptive Audio due to the continued use of the older H1 chip, with the only notable change being the addition of a USB-C port. This means that the second-generation AirPods Pro could still offer superior hardware and software features, including the H2 chip, Bluetooth 5.3, and Adaptive Audio. The refreshed over-ear headphones are expected to launch in late 2024 alongside two fourth-generation AirPods models.

Work is underway on multiple next-generation Vision Pro headsets, including a direct successor to the first-generation model and a more affordable version. The bill of materials for the cheaper headset will be half that of the first-generation model, allowing for a significantly reduced retail price. Apple is reportedly communicating with its supply chain about second- and third-generation Vision Pro products to reduce costs and boost sales. Mass production of the first-generation Vision Pro is set to begin in December, with an initial batch of 400,000 units and a sales target of one million units for 2024.

Apple is reportedly preparing to launch a second-generation version of its AirTag item tracker, with better integration with Vision Pro as a selling point. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo expects AirTag 2 to go into mass production in Q4 of next year, as part of Apple's efforts to build a new ecosystem centered around spatial computing. The current AirTag features a U1 chip for location tracking, and an upgraded version would likely include a new version of that chip, possibly the U2 chip. More details about the features and changes can be expected to leak in the coming months.

Tens of thousands of young Chinese factory bosses, known as "chang er dai" or "the second factory generation", are inheriting basic manufacturing businesses that can no longer rely on the labour-intensive model that made China the world's largest exporter of goods. They are introducing efficiency upgrades and tech upgrades to bring family businesses into the modern era while facing challenges such as labour costs, shortages of workers and disagreements with relatives on the best way forward. The large-scale generational transition, which comes as China's growth prospects dim, is the first in the country's private sector since the chang er dai's parents emerged as industrialists in the decades after Mao Zedong's death in 1976.

Tens of thousands of young Chinese factory bosses, known as "chang er dai" or "the second factory generation", are inheriting basic manufacturing businesses that can no longer rely on the labour-intensive model that made China the world's largest exporter of goods. A shrinking and ageing workforce and competition from Southeast Asia, India and elsewhere are making at least a third of China's industrial base - the low-end manufacturers - obsolete, Chinese academics say. These young factory managers are implementing tech upgrades and practical changes to bring family businesses into the modern era with efficiency upgrades while facing challenges such as labour costs, shortages of workers and, in some cases, disagreements with relatives on the best way forward.
