Apple is not expected to introduce the AirPods Pro 2 this year, according to an analyst, and to be fair, that is the right decision, seeing as how we are expected to get a new non-pro version in the coming months. However, sometime in 2022, we believe Apple will announce a new pair of wireless earbuds, with the belief that we would be greeted with more features.

Ming-Chi Kuo believes that the successor to the AirPods Pro will arrive in 2022 but fails to mention which quarter or what new features will be accompanied with the launch. Apple’s first wireless earbuds with Active Noise Cancellation were announced in October 2019, so it is possible that the AirPods Pro 2 get unveiled at a similar time. Then again, the company might have different plans, at least according to one tipster, who claims that the new versions might launch in Q1, 2022.
