Apple takes inspiration from Nothing, to launch Beats Studio Buds+ with transparent design

Nothing has achieved major traction in the IT community within a few years after its release. Nothing Phone (1) and Nothing Earbuds offered a new design language that was praised by many industry professionals, while some criticised the Carl Pei-led UK-based firm for attempting to imitate Apple. 

However, it appears that Apple, one of the world's most valuable companies, is following the path of Nothing. Apple is apparently preparing to release the Beats Studio Buds+ in the coming weeks, after the earphones were accidentally listed on Amazon before the formal announcement.

Despite the fact that the ad has now been deleted, it thoroughly exposed the specifics of Apple earbuds, including the debut date and pricing.

The Beats Studio Buds+ will be available on May 18 and will cost $169.95. For those who are unaware, Apple purchased Beats in 2014 in a multibillion-dollar deal.

According to the reports, the Beats Studio Buds+ will have a new translucent design that appears to be inspired by Nothing's design philosophy, as seen in the Ear (1) and Ear (2) earbuds. Overall, the Studio Buds+ resemble the original Studio Buds, which were launched in 2021. Aside from the white transparent colour, the earbuds will also be available in black and ivory.
