Is There a Black AirPods 5? Apple Says No, But Craft by Merlin Made One
Short answer: no, Apple does not make a black AirPods 5. It launched in a single color, white, on September 9, 2026, and every generation before it, AirPods 1 through 4, followed the exact same rule. That said, a black AirPods 5 does exist. It is just not made by Apple. Craft by Merlin hand-paints a genuine Apple AirPods 5 into a black finish, keeping every original feature intact. Here is the full picture. Does Apple Make a Black AirPods 5? No. When Apple confirmed the AirPods 5 at its September 9, 2026 event, alongside the iPhone 18 Pro, Pro Max, and iPhone Duo, it shipped in white and only white, the same color every standard AirPods model has used since the original AirPods launched in 2016. There is no black option, no dark color option of any kind, on Apple’s own store. Why Doesn’t Apple Sell Black AirPods? Apple has never explained this decision directly, but the pattern is consistent enough to draw a few conclusions. The white AirPods silhouette has become one of Apple’s most recognizable design signatures, arguably as identifiable as the shape of the iPhone itself, and sticking to one color keeps that signature intact rather than diluting it across a palette. It is also worth noting this rule applies specifically to the in-ear AirPods line. The over-ear AirPods Max has shipped in multiple colors for years, including Space Gray and Midnight, so the white-only approach appears to be a deliberate choice for the earbuds specifically, not a technical limitation. So How Do You Actually Get a Black AirPods 5? Since Apple will not sell you one, the only way to get a black AirPods 5 is through a third-party finish applied after the fact. That generally falls into three categories: adhesive skins, which are cheap but offer no real protection and tend to peel; aftermarket cases, which hide the color rather than changing it and add bulk; and hand-painted customization, which repaints the actual AirPods and case in a durable finish while keeping the hardware genuine. Craft by Merlin works in that third category. Craft by Merlin’s Apple AirPods 5 Black 26 Craft by Merlin’s Apple AirPods 5 Black 26 starts as a brand-new, genuine Apple AirPods 5, the same model Apple sells, and hand-paints it in a deep black finish using automotive-grade paint applied in three separate layers for an even, durable coat. The finish is sealed with a transparent protective layer designed to resist everyday scratching, and every pair is made in Dubai and backed by Craft by Merlin’s 1-year warranty. Base hardware: genuine Apple AirPods 5, standard case or Wireless Charging Case Chip and audio: Apple H2 chip, Active Noise Cancellation, next-generation Adaptive EQ, Personalized Spatial Audio Smart features: Adaptive Audio, Conversation Awareness, Voice Isolation, Siri, Live Translation Battery: up to 4 hours of listening with ANC on a single charge, extended by the case Finish: automotive-grade paint, 3-layer coating, scratch-resistant transparent protective layer Price: AED 865, with a 1-year warranty and free worldwide shipping Shop the Apple AirPods 5 Black 26. What Actually Changes, and What Doesn’t The customization is entirely cosmetic. The paint sits on the outside of the earbuds and the case; nothing about the internal hardware is modified, replaced, or altered. That means Active Noise Cancellation, Adaptive EQ, Spatial Audio, Voice Isolation, and every other feature on the AirPods 5 work exactly as Apple built them. What you are buying is a genuine AirPods 5 that happens to come in the one color Apple refuses to sell. Building Out an All-Black Apple Setup? If you are pairing this with an iPhone 18, Craft by Merlin’s Black Alligator Leather finish is built on the exact same idea: genuine Apple hardware, hand finished, in a color Apple does not officially offer.

iOS 27 Is Here: Every New Feature and Every iPhone That Supports It
Apple released iOS 27 to the public on September 14, 2026, five days after confirming the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and iPhone Duo at its "Surprise and Shine" event. It is the biggest Siri update in years, wrapped around a long list of smaller, genuinely useful changes. Here is what actually changed, which iPhones get it, and why some devices get a noticeably fuller version of it than others. What’s New in iOS 27 Siri AI: An Entirely New Assistant The headline feature is Siri AI, a rebuilt version of Siri with its own dedicated app, built in part on Google Gemini technology working alongside Apple’s own models. It carries context across devices, so a conversation started on iPhone can continue on iPad or Mac without repeating yourself, and it now has screen awareness, meaning it can understand and act on whatever is currently on your display. The Camera app gets its own Siri Mode: point the camera at something, ask a question about it, and Siri can identify it, look up details like nutrition information, and log the exchange in the Siri app for later. Write with Siri is now available system-wide, with built-in automatic proofreading wherever you type. Smarter Shortcuts and Photos Describe a Shortcut lets you build an automation just by typing what you want it to do, instead of assembling it step by step. The Photos app picks up Extend and Reframe tools alongside an improved cleanup tool for removing unwanted objects from a shot. Liquid Glass, Refined iOS 27 gives users more granular control over the Liquid Glass design introduced in iOS 26, alongside smoother animations, faster unlocking, and more fluid transitions in Control Center and between apps. Several early reviews also note phones running cooler during everyday use, hinting at real efficiency gains rather than just visual polish. Everyday Quality-of-Life Changes Independent volume controls for alarms and timers, separate from media volume New clipboard tools built into the keyboard Custom Wallet passes Larger home screen widget options New parental safety features Where Siri AI Isn’t Available Yet Siri AI is not available on iPhone or iPad in the EU at launch, due to regulatory constraints, and remains unavailable in China while Apple works through separate regulatory issues there. The rest of iOS 27, including Liquid Glass refinements and the quality-of-life changes above, is unaffected and ships everywhere. Which iPhones Support iOS 27 iOS 27 supports every iPhone that could already run iOS 26, going all the way back to the iPhone 11 and the second-generation iPhone SE, plus the three new devices from September’s event. That is more than 30 eligible devices in total, with no models dropped from the list this year. iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone 11 Pro Max, iPhone SE (2nd generation) iPhone 12, iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 12 Pro Max iPhone 13, iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 13 Pro Max, iPhone SE (2022) iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 14 Pro Max iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, iPhone 16 Pro Max, iPhone 16e iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max, iPhone Air iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, iPhone Duo, all three pre-loaded with iOS 27 out of the box Not Every iPhone Gets Every Feature Compatibility is not the same as capability here. iOS 27 installs on any iPhone 11 or newer, but two harder hardware lines determine how much of the update you actually experience. Apple Intelligence, the underlying AI framework Siri AI is built on, requires an A17 Pro chip or newer, which means iPhone 15 Pro and every model released after it. A second, higher bar applies to Siri AI’s most demanding features, including custom Siri voices: those need an A19 Pro chip or newer, a list that currently includes only the iPhone Air, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max, iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and iPhone Duo. Everything older than an iPhone 15 Pro still gets iOS 27’s performance improvements, Liquid Glass refinements, and quality-of-life features, just without Siri AI itself. Where the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max Fit In The iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max ship with iOS 27 already installed, and their A20 Pro chip clears every hardware bar Apple has set for this update, Apple Intelligence and the full Siri AI feature set included. If getting the complete iOS 27 experience is part of why you are upgrading, these are currently two of only six iPhones that deliver all of it. Apple sells both in four official colors: Deep Black, Silver, Glacier Blue, and Burgundy. Craft by Merlin already has eight custom finishes open for pre-booking on this exact hardware, from full-body 24K gold to hand wrapped alligator leather and four crystal tones. Explore the full Craft by Merlin iPhone 18 collection to see all eight. iOS 27 and Your AirPods Siri AI’s hands-free access carries over to AirPods, so the assistant upgrades described above extend to however you already listen. If you are also looking for AirPods in a finish Apple has never sold, Craft by Merlin hand-paints a genuine Apple AirPods 5 into a black finish, keeping every original feature, including ANC and Siri access, fully intact.

AirPods 5: Full Specs, Price, and Release Date
Apple rounded out its September 9, 2026 event with the AirPods 5, an open-ear earbud with a noise cancellation upgrade Apple calls its biggest yet for the format, alongside Live Translation and hands-free Siri. AirPods 5 Specs at a Glance Spec Detail Active Noise Cancellation Up to 50 percent stronger than AirPods 4, via a new multiport acoustic architecture Audio Next-generation Adaptive EQ, more natural Transparency mode Intelligence features Live Translation and hands-free access to Siri Battery (standard, $129) Up to 4 hours with ANC enabled per charge, up to 20 hours total with the case Battery (higher tier, $149) On-stem volume control, roughly 1 extra hour of ANC battery life, and a wireless charging case Price $129 standard, $149 with the wireless charging case and extra controls Release Pre-orders opened September 9, in stores September 18, 2026 AirPods 5 vs AirPods 4 The headline change is noise cancellation: Apple says the AirPods 5 cancel roughly 50 percent more noise than the AirPods 4, on top of a new Adaptive EQ tuning and a more natural sounding Transparency mode. Live Translation and hands-free Siri access carry over as marquee software features, now paired with the improved acoustic hardware. Craft by Merlin’s Own AirPods 5 Collection Craft by Merlin now customizes the AirPods 5 directly, with a Custom Painted collection hand-finished in four colors: Glacier, Burgundy, Black, and Silver, each starting from a genuine Apple AirPods 5. One distinction worth knowing before you order: every current iPhone 18 pre-booking still includes a free standard Apple AirPods 4, not the AirPods 5 covered above, so the two offers are separate. If you want the newer AirPods 5 hardware in a hand-painted finish, Craft by Merlin’s Custom Painted AirPods 5 collection is open now. • Glacier AirPods 5 • Burgundy AirPods 5 • Black AirPods 5 • Silver AirPods 5 And if you have not pre-booked your iPhone 18 yet, the free AirPods 4 offer is still running across all eight finishes in the collection.
