It's easy to criticize Apple, criticizing it for its lack of originality and innovation, or even for the extremely high prices of certain products. However, the reality is that we are talking about a company with an incredible ability to create trends.
Apple is mainly responsible for the smartphone, it was the first to mass market the “mp3” music player, and of course, it is also largely responsible for the popularization of wireless earbuds.
Well, the focus on wireless music will increase in the near future.
Apple will invest heavily in AirPods, in all price ranges!
Therefore, in addition to a new version of the AirPods Max, and also the AirPods Pro, everything indicates that Apple is planning to launch a new version of the cheaper AirPods. In fact, before the more expensive versions, it is very likely that the North American giant will seriously invest in a new version that is more wallet-friendly, that is, in the very likely AirPods 4.
We are talking about an incredible production level of 25 million units. In a product that will be much more interesting compared to the second and third generation, apparently at an extremely competitive price.
Yes, it's true that mixing Apple with “appealing” prices is strange. The company responsible for the iPhone has never been very adept at this strategy. But, in a market increasingly full of interesting alternatives, at increasingly lower prices, Apple will really have to give it a hand.
Having said all this, it is quite likely that there are two versions, as there are two products with the code names B768(E) and B768(M), 'E' for Entry and 'M' for Mid. average). In other words, the fourth generation will have two slightly different versions, with obviously different prices, but still, both already equipped with a USB-C port for charging.
The price can start at €99. Which would actually be very interesting! After all, AirPods also work on any other device that supports Bluetooth… As is the case with any Android smartphone.
