Apple has a successful line of audio products, particularly the AirPods true wireless earbuds. The company frequently releases new models to maintain its dominance in the market. Although the AirPods are currently the best-selling true wireless earbuds, they are relatively expensive and may not be accessible to all consumers. However, the company is rumored to be planning to launch a more affordable version of the AirPods in the early part of next year.
According to a reputable Apple analyst Ming Chi-Kuo, Apple is planning to release a more affordable version of its standard AirPods, which could cost around $99. Additionally, the company is also said to be working on the second generation of its AirPods Max over-ear headphones. It is speculated that mass production and shipment of both products, the cheaper $99 AirPods and the second generation AirPods Max, could occur in the first or second quarter of 2024 or early 2025. Currently, the most affordable AirPods model available is the second-generation AirPods, which costs $129.
The newer third-generation model is priced at $169 and comes with a Lightning charging case, and the model with a MagSafe case is $179. It remains to be seen what features the cheaper AirPods will have and how they will differ from other models, especially since the second-generation model is often available at a discounted price of $99.
