A recent report claimed that Apple’s main focus this year is the first-gen mixed reality headset, which requires additional help from other hardware and software departments. As a result, Apple won’t bring significant updates to various core products this year, including Macs, AirPods, Apple Watch, and iPad. But other reports say that Apple is working on a cheap $99 AirPods “Lite” variant that would compete against similarly priced earphones from competitors.
Current-generation AirPods sometimes go on sale for $99, as you can see in our guide on the best AirPods deals. But Apple has never offering AirPods with an MRSP under $100.
The cheaper AirPods Lite won’t launch this year, according to Ming-Chi Kuo. The often-reliable Apple insider says that Apple is indeed working on new AirPods products, but the company won't launch them until the second half of 2024 at the earliest. In addition to the $99 AirPods, Kuo also mentioned new AirPods Max headphones set to launch next year.
