A few days ago, there were first reports about a new model in the AirPods series. It is said to be the so-called “AirPods Pro Lite”.
The Taiwanese news site DigiTimes has today published another report about the AirPods. According to it, Apple is definitely planning new AirPods Pro. But this is supposed to be a kind of entry-level version into the Pro world of AirPods. The report initially caused confusion, but according to DigiTimes, it is not the third generation of the classic version. What the difference is to the well-known AirPods Pro, however, remains unknown. According to DigiTimes, production was planned to start in the second quarter of this year. However, this target is in jeopardy. The "AirPods Pro Lite" could go into production much later.
So far there is no confirmation
At the moment, we are finding it difficult to correctly classify the reports about an entry-level version of the AirPods Pro. So far, DigiTimes is the only one to make this claim. It cannot be ruled out that Apple is working on a third generation of AirPods - but a Lite version of the Pro series currently seems difficult to imagine - more details would be needed for this. In addition, a timely update of the AirPods Pro is not to be expected, as they were only released in October 2019. It therefore remains to be seen whether reputable sources such as analyst Ming-Chi Kuo or Bloomberg will confirm the whole thing. (Photo by Eremin / Bigstockphoto)
