To anticipate the first details on timing of launch of the new AirPods Pro 2 he is the analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, always very knowledgeable about the Apple world. According to what was revealed by the insider, in fact, Apple plans to launch the new AirPods Pro 2 in the course of second half of 2022. Here are the details:
The launch of the new AirPods Pro 2 is scheduled for the second half of 2022
Apple is preparing to renew its range of TWS headphones with the launch of the new AirPods Pro 2, scheduled by the end of the year. The indiscretion launched by Ming-Chi Kuo really seems to be an almost official confirmation considering the always very precise information from the insider. More precise rumors regarding the timing of the launch should arrive shortly. However, the presentation is likely to happen between September and October.
Also note that Apple should stop sales of AirPods Pro at the same time as the launch of the second generation of “Pro” headphones. This choice would be linked to the low demand recorded by the AirPods 3 compared to the AirPods 2, models that continue to be sold at the same time. The Cupertino house was forced to cut orders for the third generation of AirPods by 30%.
According to recent rumors, Apple’s new headphones should integrate a new chip that can offer a significant step forward in terms of performance. Among the novelties there should be support for Apple Music lossless audio.
The words of Ming-Chi Kuo
Here’s the insider’s tweet:
AirPods 3 orders for 2-3Q22 have been cut by 30%+. Due to the failed product segmentation strategy, demand for AirPods 3 is significantly weaker than for AirPods 2. AirPods Pro may get discontinued after Apple launches AirPods Pro 2 in 2H22 to avoid repeating the same mistake.
