Beats teases a Pokémon-themed Pill speaker, apparently featuring Pikachu
Beats has teased a collaboration with Pokémon that appears to be a special version of its Pill Bluetooth speaker.
The teaser video shows a speaker with Beats and Poké Ball symbols, and its yellow flashes suggest a Pikachu design.
Pokémon is known for characters including Pikachu, the yellow electric Pokémon.
Earlier in October, a fan posted photos of what appeared to be a Pikachu-themed speaker or its packaging at Target, but the images have not been confirmed as official.
Apple owns Beats, which brought back the Pill speaker in 2024 after discontinuing an earlier version in 2022.
The teaser has not confirmed the design, price or release date.
Fans will have to wait for Beats to share more details.
