Beats and its parent company App<\/a>le no longer sell portable, battery-powered Bluetooth speakers. The companies have only sold one such speaker, the Beats Pill+, since 2015. But as of January 10th, the Beats Pill+ is discontinued.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s an odd situation, to say the least. Beats Pill+ is a legendary Bluetooth speaker that laid a foundation for the brand\u2019s future\u2014it was the first Beats product to launch after Apple acquired the company in 2014, the first Beats device with a Lightning port, and of course, the first Beats speaker with an Apple-like design.<\/p>\n

But we should have known this day was coming, because Apple has really<\/em> neglected the world of portable Bluetooth speakers. It\u2019s focused almost entirely on the HomePod, a wired device, and it\u2019s transformed Beats into more of a headphone<\/em> brand than a proper audio brand.<\/p>\n

Also, Apple never added some of its most compelling features to the Beats Pill+. While other Beats and Apple products gained AirPlay, Siri, and lossless audio support, the Beats Pill+ remained a bit of a dinosaur. I mean, it\u2019s been on the market for almost seven years!<\/p>\n

Where\u2019s the silver lining? Well, maybe Apple is preparing to launch a portable Bluetooth speaker with all the features of its HomePod devices. But we haven\u2019t heard rumors of such a device, so don\u2019t give your hopes up. In the meantime, you\u2019re stuck shopping for non-Apple Bluetooth speakers or the Sonos Roam, which supports AirPlay 2.<\/p>\n
