In October 2019, Apple unveiled its new audio-related flagship: AirPods Pro. Special headphones with great capabilities such as active noise cancellation, with a very different design from the original AirPods. Since then, there have been many rumors about the launch of the second generation of these headphones. However, almost a year and a half later, we still have not heard from them. An analyst claimed that The second-generation AirPods Pro will arrive in the second half of 2022 with a significantly improved chip and a new, more compact design. Will he be right?
The second generation AirPods Pro will arrive in the 2nd half of 2022
The analyst in question is the well-known Ming Chi-Kuo who is in charge of launching predictions on the future of Apple and its products whose success rate is quite high. In a tweet posted in your official account provided information on the Big Apple’s AirPods line.
It seems AirPods 3 are not as popular as the current demand for AirPods 2. This caused Apple to reduce the order for the third generation from its suppliers by 30%. On the other hand, he made sure that the second generation AirPods Pro they will finally arrive in the second half of 2022 after many rumors around them.
These headphones are really expected because they are supposed to integrate a Significantly improved chip over the original H1. This will improve the active noise cancellation and efficiency of the headphones, thereby increasing your battery life. Apple Lossless support in Apple Music is also expected, as no wireless AirPods currently support this lossless codec from Apple.
AirPods 3 orders for 2-3Q22 have been reduced by 30%+. Due to failed product segmentation strategy, demand for AirPods 3 is significantly lower than AirPods 2. AirPods Pro may be discontinued after Apple launches AirPods Pro 2 in 2H22 to avoid repeat the same mistake.
