Apple has no plans to update its AirPods Max headphones, as they are too niche for substantial R&D but stable enough to avoid discontinuation, according to analyst Mark Gurman.

Apple is reportedly in no rush to launch a next-gen AirPods Max, owing to the headphone's niche market appeal, which also reflects on their sales figures.

In September, Apple updated the AirPods Max, but many hoped a bigger overhaul was coming soon. A new report suggests there may be a wait.
