Apple's highly speculated wireless, over-ear headphones—or "Studiopods"—may be dropping as soon as March, after a mysterious item called "Apple Airpods (X Generation)" showed up in Target's inventory systems and UPC scanners with a $399.99 price tag. Youtuber Jon Prosser revealed that multiple Target employees have reached out to him after noticing the product listed under this name. The listing is thought to be for the highly speculated over-ear "Studiopods," the latest gadget in Apple's growing wireless audio line.
Target's inventory system lists three different SKU (stock-keeping unit) for the product, meaning that these rumoured Studiopods may be released in multiple colourways. According to Prosser, the product could be launching as soon as next month. He also included a concept image of what the StudioPods may look like.
The Youtuber also shared some images of the “iPod Touch X Generation” and the “iPad 10.5 X" listed in Target's systems. He asserts that the "iPod Touch X Generation" is "almost CERTAINLY the new $400 iPhone," and that the "iPad 10.5 X" is likely the new iPad Pro. The "iPod Touch X Generation" comes with 6 SKUs, meaning 6 possible colourway options. Apple is also rumoured to be working on a design for a folding iPhone.
Zion Williamson Blesses Teammates With Mardi Gras-Themed Gift
Zion Williamson is already shaping up to be a great teammate.
Zion Williamson is already one of the most exciting players in the NBA and he's only less than 15 games into his career. Last night, Williamson went up against LeBron James and dropped 29 points in what turned out to be a loss for the New Orleans Pelicans. Zion is already letting his presence be felt throughout the league and it appears as though he is looking to be the best teammate possible, as well.
According to Chris Haynes of Yahoo! Sports, Zion surprised his Pelicans teammates with custom Beats by Dre earbuds. The earbuds came in a Mardi-Gras-themed case and even featured each player's name and number inscribed on the inside. It was a pretty sweet gift that every player was appreciative of.
“I just thought it would be a nice gift for everyone and I’m glad they all liked it,” Williamson said. “That’s what matters to me, is that my teammates are enjoying them. I see them wearing it and it’s cool. I just wanted to do something special for them.”
Williamson has been extremely modest since entering the league and it's clear that he wants to make a good impression. Praise makes Williamson uncomfortable and so far, he has let his play on the court do the talking. He's already exhibiting leadership qualities which is something the Pelicans should be excited about.

Wilson had worked at Finklestein Library in Spring Valley, New York for over a decade before being stabbed at 2:00 PM on February 18.
Police say Blanchard Glaudin, 25, became agitated after Wilson instructed him to turn his music down and stabbed her with a 6-inch blade before fleeing. Two people nearby were able to tackle Glaudin to the floor before he could get away. They held him until the police arrived.
Workers say they recognized the man from previous run-ins with security.
"A security guard, keeping others safe was viciously stabbed at the Finkelstein Memorial Library in Spring Valley, and she later died of her injuries," State Sen. David Carlucci wrote on Facebook. "I am praying for the victim's family in their time of grief. Many in our community visit the Finkelstein Memorial Library, and it's a place I have taken my own children and have always felt safe. I am extremely upset over this act of violence that incited more fear and chaos in our close-knit community."
Glaudin, who has been charged with second-degree murder, is being held at Spring Valley without bond.
