Ming Chi-Kuo: AirPods Pro Two Coming 2022
New AirPods Pro 2 will debut in 2022, according to a note from analyst Ming -Chi-Kuo seen byĀ iMore. Indeed, he expects Apple’s earbuds to ship 100 million units overall that year.
Kuo says that while Apple’s AirPods business will “decline in the short term (2H21ā1H22)” he expects that to be rectified by the second half of the year. Short term, however, lower than expected demand is thought to mean Apple will ship up to 75 million units which is 10 million down on the previous prediction.Ā In terms of AirPods as a whole, Kuo says that he expects Apple to ship more than 100 million units in 2022, even if the new products don’t feature an “innovative experience.” Such an experience has been talked about before ā previous reports have suggested some form of health tracking could be added to AirPods Pro specifically.
