Author: There was no sign at WWDC 2020 that AirPods Pro Lite coming soon. Moreover, the AirPods Pro have received a major update that brings immersive Dolby Atmos audio and a great auto-switching feature.
Rumors of a new version of AirPods Pro Lite have been circulating since mid-February after a DigiTimes report claimed that new TWS earphones will be released in the first half of 2020.
The nearest release opportunity will be in September 2020, when Apple usually releases the last iPhone - the iPhone 12 is expected this year.
The AirPods Pro Lite is reported to be a light version of the AirPods Pro with noise reductionwhich suggests a lower price tag. Despite the lack of official confirmation from Apple and very vague information about wireless headphonesI've even heard reports of the coronavirus outbreak stopping production of AirPods Pro Lite! But then there were denials.

Despite the fact that we know very little about AirPods Pro Lite, we still thought about what features and functions we would like to see in a new pair of AirPods Pro. But already according to confirmed data, Apple will receive a number of new patents, one of which suggests that the next AirPods may have many cool features for athletes.
According to Patently Apple, the patent describes AirPods Lite that use built-in sensors to "gather information such as accelerometer measurements as the user moves." Another patent describes AirPods Lite that can automatically pause or lower the volume of your music if they detect a hazard near you (useful on the road).

AirPods Pro Lite release date
Rumors of a release date for AirPods Pro Lite have been constantly changing - reports of a 2020 release are being refuted. The new AirPods were originally supposed to hit the market before 2020, but recent comments from industry analyst Ming-Chi Kuo say mass production of AirPods Pro Lite will begin in the first half of 2021and a new AirPods Pro model is coming in 2022.
However, I think that in 2020 we will see new Apple headphones. This is in part because respected tech analyst John Prosser recently tweeted that a new pair of Apple Pro Lite earbuds are "ready to ship."
Prosser did not elaborate on which model it is. There are many names, after all, including AirPods Pro Lite and AirPods 3. But he clarified that it is not AirPods Studio that could be the first on-ear headphones Apple.
We've also seen some pretty sizable discounts on Apple headphones in recent months, suggesting that the company may be holding a promotion ahead of the launch.
AirPods Pro Lite price
If the AirPods Pro Lite are indeed the lighter version of the AirPods Pro, then they will be significantly cheaper. When price 250 $ the original Pros are quite expensive. I'd love to see AirPods Pro Lite at a price similar to the 2019 AirPods at $ 160. It would be even better if Apple could launch wireless earbuds for $ 100, as it will really shake up the competition.
