Second generation AirPod Pros rumored to launch in the second half of the year

In his latest “Power On” newsletter, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman says Apple suppliers are gearing up for the biggest AirPods launch to date. 

Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo tweets that the second generation of Apple’s AirPods Pro will be released in the second half of the year.

Here’s the tweet: AirPods 3 orders for 2-3Q22 have been cut by 30%+. Due to the failed product segmentation strategy, demand for AirPods 3 is significantly weaker than for AirPods 2. AirPods Pro may get discontinued after Apple launches AirPods Pro 2 in 2H22 to avoid repeating the same mistake.

The AirPods Pro 2 is anticipated to feature an entirely new design that does away with the short stem that comes out of the bottom for a design similar to the Beats Fit Pro.
