There have been reports for months that Apple could introduce the third generation of AirPods next year. Both the design and the range of functions are said to already be clear - but how much will they cost?
According to rumors, Apple will introduce at least the third generation of the normal AirPods next year. Due to the SiP technology (System in Package), the small white plugs are to be adapted to the Pro version. This means that the stem is expected to be shorter. However, the features of the Pro version will not be included. Now The Elec also supports these rumors and explained that the product will cost about $200.
AirPods: 2021 could be an interesting year
Apple will introduce a Lite version of its AirPods Pro (without noise cancellation) in the first half of 2021.
A person familiar with the matter said the Lite version 20% will be cheaper than the regular AirPods Pro, which have noise cancellation.
Since Apple sells the AirPods Pro for around $250 in the US, the price of the AirPods 3 should be around $200. In terms of release, The Elec says the first half of 2021. This is in line with previous reports. Previous sources have also reported on new AirPods Pro 2, which could be released in late 2021 or early 2022. Accordingly, 2021 could be an interesting year for the popular Apple earbuds. (Photo by Denys Prykhodov / Bigstockphoto)
