According to reports, Apple is working on budget AirPods and AirPods Max headphones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Only<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Still 2 years away<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may release them in the second half of 2024, but production issues could delay the unveiling until early 2025, claims prominent Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around the same <\/a>time we will also see the second-gen AirPods Max – Apple\u2019s wireless overhead headphones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pricing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Kuo the budget-friendly AirPods would cost $99, or about Rs 8,000 which is even cheaper than the 2nd gen AirPods that start at $129 (or Rs 14,900 in India).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The costliest audio item in Apple’s lineup is still the AirPods Max, which retails for Rs 59,900.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New suppliers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kuo further stated, via GSMArena, that the Apple team at its Cupertino, California headquarters is preparing to switch the suppliers of its AirPods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The report notes, “Hon Teng (FIT), a Foxconn subsidiary, is taking over from Goertek, which will bring ‘significant benefits’ to the company. FIT will share the assembly process with Luxshare ICT, which manufactures AirPods Max headphones.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is not the first time that Apple is reported to be working on affordable AirPods, since the same has been claimed in the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dwindling sales<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another insider had published this information earlier this month and stated that Apple anticipates a decrease in the shipments of its audio products this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to reports, the third generation of AirPods is not selling well, so the business is considering developing cheaper earbuds to reach a wider audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scrapped features on the cheap buds<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Specifications are not highlighted in either source but it won’t be a surprise if the affordable AirPods lack major features that exist in the more expensive variants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For instance, both second-gen and third-gen AirPods lack ANC (active noise cancellation), which helps eliminate ambient noises for a better listening experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the report on the affordable AirPods is accurate, then the earbuds will lack ANC as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may also lack wireless charging support, and the company may scrap the H1 chip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further, it could get a new name, similar to how Apple rehashed its discontinued iPhones to create the iPhone SE 2nd gen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AirPods Max<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, the Apple AirPods Max will have all the latest features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To begin with, it may have advanced wireless audio codecs for the best audio experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apple is rumored to be working on health <\/a>features for the AirPods as well, including a heart-rate sensor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since these headphones have more space, it will be easier for Apple to add relevant sensors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
