| 0:00.0 | Welcome to 9 to 5 Mac Daily for Wednesday, March 25th, 2026. I'm your host, Chance Miller. We are sponsored this week by Backblaze. |
| 0:13.2 | Leading off today, the new AirPods Max 2 that we first talked about last week are now available for pre-order. |
| 0:19.8 | Apple had originally promised deliveries would begin early |
| 0:22.5 | next month, and it's tracking exactly with that, estimating the first shipments will arrive |
| 0:27.3 | between April 1st and April 3rd. As we discussed, the announcement of AirPods Max 2 was a surprise. |
| 0:35.1 | The new headphones look just like AirPods Max with USBC, but the upgrade is that they use Apple's H2 audio chip. |
| 0:42.6 | That's the same chip also used in AirPods Pro. This powers features like more effective active noise cancellation, better sound quality, adaptive audio mode for intelligently moving between transparency and noise cancellation |
| 0:55.6 | and live translation. |
| 0:58.4 | Color options for AirPods Max 2 include Midnight, Starlight, Orange, Purple, and Blue. |

| 1:19.5 | The first orders arrive between April 1st and April 3rd. |

| 1:31.9 | Bloomberg had previously reported that OLED models of several new products were in the works, |
| 1:36.1 | and now a new Digitimes report corroborates those upcoming transitions, focusing on two new products, |
| 1:43.5 | the M6 MacBook Pro, and a new version of the iPad Mini. |
| 1:48.7 | The Digitimes report explains that Apple wants to reduce its reliance on Chinese suppliers due to |
| 1:54.5 | tightening U.S. restrictions. Therefore, as part of this transition to Oled across more product |
| 2:00.6 | lines, Apple plans to rely more on |
| 2:03.5 | Korean suppliers than Chinese suppliers. In fact, for the M6 MacBook Pro and the new iPad Mini, |
| 2:11.0 | Apple is expected to rely predominantly on OLED panels supplied by South Korea's Samsung display |
| 2:17.1 | and LG display. |
