The supposedly cheaper version of Apple’s headphones, AirPods Lite will be available in stores between the end of 2024 and the beginning of 2025., according to speculation by analyst Ming-Chi Kuo this Thursday (12). The manufacturer may be considering a more affordable model to compete with the competition.
Big tech could launch a “cheap” version of the phone in the second half of next year, with the expected update of the AirPods Max set to hit stores in 2020, according to the Apple business expert. The entry was not overlooked for the first half of 2025 either.
Regarding the price of AirPods Lite, Kuo says it should cost US$99, which is equivalent to R$508 at today’s price quote, excluding fees and taxes. This will mean a US$30 (US$153) discount compared to the more affordable model of the second-generation phone sold by the Cupertino giant.
