Did LeBron James Just Leak a New Apple Product? Basketball star is spotted with an unreleased device – here’s what it could be

Apple’s latest products are usually kept under strict lock and key until they are announced to the world.

But it looks like a famous face has managed to get his hands on a new device before it hits the market.

LA Lakers star, LeBron James, has been spotted with what appears to be a new Beats speaker.

Although Apple has yet to confirm or deny the identity of the speaker, it has gained widespread attention among its fans.

‘Beats x Bron collab?!’ one user suggested excitedly on Instagram.

The speaker was spotted in a video posted to Instagram by the Los Angeles Lakers account, captioned “Hoodie Bron.”

LeBron wears black pants and a black hooded jacket while holding a gold, pill-shaped device in his right hand.

The device features a Beats logo and is attached to a short cord – something we have not seen before with a Beats speaker.

Unsurprisingly, many fans are speculating in the comments about what the device could be.

“Unreleased Beats Pill Bluetooth speaker,” one user suggested.

Another wrote: ‘Is that the new Beats Pill?’

And someone joked, “How much did Apple give you for advertising this new Beats thing?”

MailOnline has contacted Apple for comment.

This wouldn’t be the first time Apple has turned to a celebrity to help promote a Beats device.

The tech giant has previously collaborated with Kim Kardashian on a range of skin-tone headphones.

Kim said at the time: ‘I wanted to break with the idea that headphones have to be colorful to make a statement.

“This collaboration is special because it makes you blend in or stand out, and Beats is known for making products that radiate individuality.”
