If you want more than the base AirPods but don’t need the AirPods Pro, Apple may have a mid-tier option for you later this year. Here’s what the rumors claim.
Apple’s audio lineup is expanding this year, offering more choices and features to buyers of its non-flagship earbuds. That’s according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, who claims that Apple is preparing an entry-level and mid-tier variant of the AirPods under the project names B768(E) and B768(M). Poised to replace the second and third-generation AirPods, the upcoming true wireless earbuds from Apple will reportedly enter mass production in May, weeks ahead of its annual developers conference.
However, it’s going to be a while before these refreshed AirPods hit the shelves. With production reportedly scheduled to commence at GoerTek and Luxshare Precision Industry in the coming weeks, Apple is said to be eyeing a market launch for its new audio wearable line somewhere around September or October.
