Corroborating some recent (and even old) bets, the analyst Jeff Pu stated that the Apple intends to launch a low-cost model of AirPods later this year — in addition to the accessory that will replace the current entry-level model.
According to MacRumors, Pu stated that a Foxconn subsidiary will be one of the suppliers of these new AirPods. In fact, the company will increase the level of production of Apple headphones in one of its factories in India in the fourth half of this year.
According to the 9to5Mac, the analyst attributes this increase precisely to the new model — which he refers to as “AirPods Lite”. But the release of an update for the AirPods Max might also impact this decision. According to Pu, the model will not gain any new features, just a USB-C port.
Previous rumors regarding the “AirPods Lite”
Recently, analyst Mark Gurman stated that Apple is expected to launch two models to replace the current entry-level AirPods. The cheapest model, which would probably be the one corresponding to these low-cost AirPods, should not have some features that should be in the more expensive ones — such as active noise cancellation (ANC) and speakers integrated into the network Search (Find My) on time.
The rumor regarding a cheaper AirPods model emerged in 2020, having been corroborated at the beginning of last year by Jeff Pu himself and, a few days later, by analyst Ming-Chi Kuo — who predicted its launch for the second half of this year. year.
Although the information is still, to some extent, nebulous and it is not possible to say that analysts are referring to the same model, the fact is that we have more and more evidence regarding the launch of a product of this kind.
