Analyst Jeff Pu predicts that Apple will release a new lower-cost "AirPods Lite" model in the second half of 2024, alongside new AirPods Max. The production of AirPods is expected to increase due to the launch of the low-cost model, with a projected 4% year-over-year dip in volume. Specific details about the "AirPods Lite" are not provided, but it is speculated to be priced at $99. Apple is also rumored to introduce AirPods 4 with two different models, featuring a new design and USB-C charging case, with only the higher-end variant supporting features like noise cancellation.
