Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James was spotted in Denver carrying an unreleased version of the Beats Pill speaker from Apple’s Beats brand, sparking rumors of a possible comeback for the popular device. In an Instagram reel, James was seen arriving at Ball Arena with the new speaker, which features a lanyard and a Beats logo, suggesting significant technological improvements from the original model introduced in 2012.
The Beats Pill was originally a wireless Bluetooth speaker released before Apple’s acquisition of Beats Electronics. Under Apple’s ownership, the final version of the speaker was the Pill+ with a Lightning connector, which was quietly discontinued in early 2022. However, based on James’ video with the new version of the speaker, it seems that the Beats Pill may be making a return.
While specific details about the speaker, including a release date, remain unknown, fans and tech enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting further updates from Apple. It is expected that the new version of the Beats Pill will feature a USB-C port for charging, in line with modern technological standards. Stay tuned for more news and updates on the rumored return of the iconic Beats Pill speaker.
