Apple plans budget-friendly AirPods and upgraded Max models for 2024

Budget-Friendly AirPods

According to industry reports, Apple intends to release a more cost-efficient variant of its widely popular AirPods, as well as upgraded models of AirPods Max, in 2024. This information comes from substantial research conducted by Jeff Pu, an analyst at Haitong International Securities.

The more affordable AirPods are expected to have components produced by a Foxconn subsidiary, with the manufacturing operations taking place in an India-based factory starting from the fourth quarter of this year.

The forecast aligns with previous predictions by insiders such as Mark Gurman, Ming-Chi Kuo, and Debby Wu, indicating Apple’s plan to roll out new models of AirPods later this year and projecting an increased presence in the competitive global market of wireless earbuds.

These updated models are expected to offer improved comfort, superior sound, and a revamped charging case possibly featuring a USB-C port. Additional enhancements might include longer battery life and a more localized sound experience, depending on the user’s environment.

Moreover, the possible inclusion of active noise cancellation in the mid-range model could dramatically enhance the audio experience by eliminating background noise.

The potential presence of a built-in speaker for tracking via Apple’s Find My network is likely to aid users in locating their misplaced devices.

There is ongoing industry speculation about whether these more affordable AirPods and fourth-generation entry-level models are the same product; insider reports, however, suggest that both models will likely be launched.

The Anticipated release of updated AirPods Max aligns with previous statements from Gurman about a revamped version of the over-ear headphones, possibly offering a range of new colors and hardware upgrades. The launch promises to add new dynamics to Apple’s premium audio accessory line.

These product releases exemplify Apple’s commitment to integrating AI in their catalog and are expected to preview at the Worldwide Developers Conference in June 2024, with public releases anticipated in September 2024. Apple aims to expand its consumer base to include regular consumers and professionals with these launches.
