In October 2019 Apple unveiled its new flagship product related to audio: the AirPods Pro. Special headphones with great capabilities such as active noise cancellation, with a very different design from the original AirPods. Since then there have been many rumors about the release of the second generation of these headphones. However, almost a year and a half later, we still haven't heard from them. An analyst has claimed that The second generation AirPods Pro will arrive in the second half of 2022 with a substantially improved chip and a new, more compact design. Will he be right?
The second generation AirPods Pro will arrive in the 2nd half of 2022
The analyst in question is the well-known Ming Chi-Kuo who is in charge of launching predictions about the future of Apple and its products whose success rate is quite high. In a posted tweet in your official account has provided information about the big apple's AirPods range.
Apparently the AirPods 3 aren't seeing as much of a hit as the current demand for the AirPods 2. This has caused Apple to reduce the order of the third generation to its suppliers by 30%. On the other hand, he has ensured that the second generation AirPods Pro they will finally arrive in the second half of 2022 after many rumors around them.
These headphones are really expected as they are expected to incorporate a Substantially improved chip compared to the original H1. This will allow to improve the active noise cancellation and the efficiency of the headphones, thus increasing the life of your battery. Support for Apple Losseless in Apple Music is also expected as currently no wireless AirPods support this lossless codec from Apple.
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.

Finally, it is also reported that contrary to what has happened with the AirPods 3, the launch of the second generation AirPods Pro will displace the first generation, eliminating them from the market. Remember that now, for example, the original second and third generation headphones (the original AirPods) are sold even though they have different technologies.
