Last week, the DigiTimes newspaper mentioned the probable arrival this year of new AirPods headphones,AirPods Pro Lite. As their name suggests, it should be an entry-level version of the AirPods Pro released last year.
According to the Taiwanese publication, the subcontractors of these new Apple earbuds should only launch their production line in the second quarter of 2020. These AirPods Pro Lite would then appear on the shelves of Apple Stores around the world during the summer or fall. of this year.
At this stage, however, no information has yet been provided regarding the technical characteristics of the potential new pair of Apple headphones. It remains difficult to see how the Californian firm could transform its AirPods Pro into AirPods Pro Lite, without getting too close to the AirPods 2.
We can perhaps count on a pair of in-ear headphones without active noise reduction and without ear shape analysis technology. But it will have a great impact on the sound transmission quality. In addition, the small price difference between the AirPods 2 with wireless case (229 euros) and the AirPods Pro (279 euros) does not leave much room for an intermediate model.
Finally, note that no other source than DigiTimes has mentioned this AirPods Pro Lite earphone project at Apple to date. It is therefore necessary at this stagebe careful about this rumor.
