Apple’s still-unannounced Powerbeats 4 earbuds were spotted at a Walmart in Rochester, New York over the weekend, confirming some specs that previously leaked including 15 hours of battery life, 9to5Mac reports.
With Apple’s popular Powerbeats 3 headphones being nearly four years old at this point, Apple fans have been expecting the announcement of updated Powerbeats 4 to arrive soon. Now, it seems that the headphones have already been seen out in the wild.
A selection of Powerbeats 4 headphones were spotted on the shelf of a Walmart store in Rochester, New York by Twitter user @eddiezus, as reported by 9to5Mac. The photo snapped by @eddiezus shows the three colors of Powerbeats 4 — white, black, and Beats’ signature bright red. with a price tag of $149, which is $50 less than the price of the Powerbeats 3.@9to5mac @MacRumors did the new Beats Powerbeats drop without announcement? these were found in my local Walmart in Rochester NY. pic.twitter.com/oiqDD20dcB— 𝗲𝗱𝗱𝗶𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝗽 🎈 (@eddiezus) March 14, 2020

The expected 15-hour battery life is likely due to Apple’s new H1 wireless chip, similar to the Powerbeats Pro, which also should enable “Hey Siri” support and “Announce Messages with Siri.”
Clues about Powerbeats 4 started appearing online back in January, when icons of what appeared to be the new earbuds appeared in iOS, followed by an FCC listing in February. Leaked images surfaced earlier this month. But there hasn’t been any update from Apple about when the earbuds would be officially released, and with numerous tech events being canceled or modified due to the coronavirus.
It’s not clear why this particular Walmart store is selling these headphones before any other stores, so it could be a mistake on the part of the store. This does provide evidence in confirmation of some specs about the headphones though, such as the 15-hour battery life.
