In what’s starting to look like the longest soft launch in Beats speakers' history, yet more evidence of the new Beats Pill Bluetooth speaker has emerged. The speakerhas previously been spotted dangling from the wrists of various US celebs and athletesin their Instagram stories, was referenced in code foriOS17.5, and was spotted in regulatory filings for the US FCC. And now it’s broken cover in Europe too, with a listing onApple’s European regulatory compliance website.
Thelistingisn’t giving much away about the specifications: it lists model number A3211, a Bluetooth speaker running Beats OS and with a supplied charging cable. But it’s yet more evidence that a new Beats speaker is imminent for the first time since 2015.
The 2024 Beats Pill speaker: what we know so far
We’d expect the new speaker to launch in June 2024, which is when the new Beats Solo Buds are also expected to launch. That would fit with the timing of the celebrity images, which emerged in April; the EU filing was also submitted in April 2024. These things tend to be done fairly late because, as we’re demonstrating here, as soon as they’re filed somebody spots them.
We don’t know pricing as yet but given that the previous model was $229 at launch and $179 just before it was discontinued, a price in the low $200/£200 range is likely.
