AirPods Gen 6 launched last year is the most basic model offered by Apple but it still doesn't sell at an affordable price. AirPods Max has not been updated for two years, with competitors already offering models with a more robust audio system. Leading analyst Ming Chi Kuo now predicts affordable AirPods and the new AirPods Max to launch in H2 2024 or H1 2025.
This is still a long way off but Apple doesn't update their audio products very often. The new AirPods are targeting a retail price of around $99 which qualifies them to be categorized as affordable. Among the features not offered may be the H1 chip.
The new AirPods Max has been long awaited for its update. Last year only AirPods Pro were updated with a feature that allowed them to be tracked using Find My. AirPods Max offers many interesting features but without support for wired connection, the design is not comfortable, it is too heavy and the exposed storage space makes it not worth the price it sells for.
