Apple’s ‘AirPods Lite’ may debut in 2024, says analyst – Times of India

It has been a while since we have been hearing about a ‘more affordable version of AirPods,’ known as ‘AirPods Lite‘ under development. Rumours are rife about Apple working on a lower-priced pair of AirPods to compete with affordable earbuds. We now hear that these affordable AirPods could debut sometime in late 2024 or early 2025.
Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo of TF Securities expects Apple to refresh its audio products within the second half of 2024 to early 2024, which could include a second-gen HomePod mini, AirPods Max, and also a new affordable AirPods.
Not long ago, Kuo had said that the affordable AirPods, aka the AirPods Lite, could launch in late 2024 or maybe early 2025. As per the analyst, Apple plans to price the alleged affordable AirPods for $99 (~Rs 8,100).
While Kuo has not mentioned what Apple could call these affordable AirPods, Jeff Pu, an analyst, has referred to them as “AirPods Lite” in an investors’ note.
In 2020, The Elec, a South Korean publication, was the first to toss up the name “AirPods Pro Lite.” The report suggested that these would be the most affordable AirPods to come with Active Noise Cancellation (ANC). As per the report, the AirPod Pro Lite would have been launched in the first half of 2021, but even two years later, there are no such earbuds in the company’s portfolio.
It is too early to say anything about these affordable ‘AirPods Lite.’ So, we suggest taking these rumours with a pinch of salt. But, it will surely be interesting if they come up with such low-priced AirPods, which are already one of the best-selling products of Apple.
It was last year only when Apple last upgraded the AirPods with spatial audio, longer battery life, and new touch sensors. Apple still sells both the AirPods – the third-gen and second-gen – for Rs 19,990 and Rs 14,990 in India.
