The topic of new AirPods Pro has been covered several times in recent days by the Taiwanese news site DigiTimes. Now there is new information about an AirPods Pro update.
The controversial DigiTimes has already twice published a new AirPods model – AirPods Pro Lite – mentioned. Now the Taiwanese news publication has published another article on the subject. According to it, Apple is planning an update to the AirPods Pro – this is supposed to be a kind of entry-level version of the Pro series. This is what the preview of the paid article says:
USI likely to enter AirPods Pro supply chain, sources say Taiwan-based Universal Scientific Industrial (USI), a unit of ASE Technology, is likely to receive system-in-package (SiP) orders for the upcoming AirPods Pro, industry sources said.
AirPods Pro without noise cancellation?
It is suspected that the so-called Pro-Lite model is again meant – the full article will be released at an additional cost. But let's be honest – AirPods Pro Lite? That sounds somewhat contradictory. Whatever. Concrete specifications have not been revealed yet. However, it is now suspected that Apple could update the classic AirPods or introduce AirPods in the design of the Pros, which will, however, lack the ANC feature – noise cancellation. The preview also claims that due to the coronavirus epidemic, production of these new AirPods will probably not begin before the end of the second quarter of 2020. Although DigiTimes does indeed have connections to Apple suppliers, the accuracy rate is still modest. Until further sources "confirm" such an AirPods model, the rumor should generally be viewed with skepticism. (Photo by hadrian / Bigstockphoto)
