Apple is busy with new AirPods products. They could be on the market from the end of next year.
Those new AirPods should be a lot cheaper than they are now. You can easily pay 160 euros for a pair of wireless earphones from Apple today – and that is if you go for the cheapest option. Those who want a slightly more up-to-date sound experience can now pay more than 200 euros for the Apple Airpods 3. For Apple’s Pro earphones, that amount is even higher: up to 300 euros.
These are prices that not everyone is willing or able to pay, no matter how good the product is. They have also noticed this at Apple. Now the company appears to be working on a set of cheaper AirPods. In this way, the AirPods should be more resistant to competition from the lower price ranges.
Those earphones volgens supply chain-analyst Ming-Chi Kuo market as early as the second half of 2024. If the case is delayed, we can expect the earphones in early 2025. For $ 99, Apple hopes to be able to sell the earphones to a large audience. How much the Airpods ‘Lite’ will cost in Europe has not yet been announced. There is a good chance that the dollar sign will be exchanged for a euro sign and that the earphones will be put on the shelf that way.
Most expensive AirPods ever
At the same time, Apple is once again moving into the high end of the market with new AirPods Max. The first version of these wireless headphones came on the market in 2020 with a hefty price tag. Those who still want to purchase them more than two years later will spend about 629 euros. Now a successor is on the way and it doesn’t look like the price tag will be dampened. The AirPods Max successor should come on the market at the same time as the wireless earphones.
