Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo predicts some other Apple acoustic products will get the next iteration as soon as 2024, as HomePod mini and AirPods Max.
some other Apple acoustic products will get the next iteration as soon as 2024. According to Kuo, Apple is working on a new HomePod mini 2, AirPods Max 2, and an AirPods low-cost version. Their mass production will likely start in 2H24 or 1H25. Here’s what we know about each of these products.Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo is the first to say Apple is working on a second generation of the HomePod mini.
Sure, it would be nice to get more colors, a cheaper price, and better sound and microphones, but the real improvements probably need to be made on the back end — with Siri and app integration. That said, it’s unclear which features Apple would bring to a new generation or what else it would change to its entry-level smart speaker.Besides Kuo’s prediction, one of the last times we heard something about the new AirPods Max was in May 2021. At the time, Gurman said Apple was readying new colors – which never launched. Then last year, the journalist said Apple is expected to switch all its AirPods models to USB-C, meaning a 2024 release for a second-generation AirPods Max was likely.
On the other hand, Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said last month that this possible model would cost $99, although he was also unclear on which features – or form-factor – it would have. I predict Apple's next important acoustic product refresh time is will be in 2H24-1H25. The following new products will likely start mass production in 2H24 at the earliest.
