All attention is now focused on what Apple will release in the near future, but this does not prevent analysts from talking about a far future.
New AirPods 2 can be released in December 2019

Analyst from Barclays believes that in 2019, Apple will release not only something updated, but also a budgetary version of something, and also get rid of some function. The company expects a lot of changes.
Let's start with AirPods. According to the analyst, AirPods 2 will be released in the season of 2019 holidays. Earlier there were rumors that the company will release updated headphones, and that they can be waterproof and soundproof. In addition, the new headphones will be more expensive than the current ones.
Apple is also working on a new budget smart column under the Beats brand. Earlier, rumors claimed that it would be released before the end of 2018, but now it is reported that the column will also be released in 2019.
Now for the 3D Touch. According to analysts and sources, by 2019 the function of 3D Touch will disappear from smartphones. However, this information is not yet accurate, and plans may change.
There is nothing surprising in the new information, even if earlier you did not follow the rumors. We know that there should be new AirPods and a budget smart column. However, information about 3D Touch is of interest.
