Apple’s shipments for AirPods Pro have been growing steadily since its launch in October 2019 and should equal those of AirPods 2 by the end of 2020, according to DigiTimes.
That’s good news for Apple, as the AirPods Pro cost $249 while the second gen AirPods cost $159. The former offer features lacking in the latter such as adaptive EQ, noise cancellation.They’ll also get surround sound when iOS 14 arrives.
Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo predicts we’ll see a premium Apple-branded headset (the “AirPods Studio”) later this year, third generation AirPods next year, and new AirPods Pro in 2022.
