Apple AirPods Launch Date

As per a recent report by South Korean tech news media publication The Elec, Apple is likely to unveil the next-generation model, the Apple AirPods 3 in the first half of 2021.

This chip is said to be housed in a new SiP (system in a package) enclosure.

Furthermore, the latest report suggests that the new AirPods will be 20% cheaper than the existing AirPods Pro priced around Rs. 25,000, which makes it fall somewhere around Rs. 20,000.

Reportedly, the quality tests for the upcoming pair of AirPods' SiP are likely to debut by the end of this year. Also, the production of the same is expected to debut in early 2021.
