It seems that Apple would be working on the development of some AirPods Pro Lite according to DigiTimes media. Yes, the well-known AirPods and AirPods Pro could have a younger brother that would surely cut back on features more than design, although nothing is officially known about these possible new headphones.
The rumors of products with the name "Lite" appear constantly among the news regarding Apple products and it is that not long ago there was also talk of a HomePod "Lite" or "Mini" for this year and although there is nothing confirmed by the company neither can we rule out anything.
The less it is strange that these headphones appear on the scene since the new AirPods Pro are just over four months old since they were officially launched, so let us have doubts about these possible new wireless headphones that you talk about in the well-known Taiwanese half among the lines of production problems that Apple will have with production these months.
Could AirPods Pro without built-in wireless charging be the new AirPods Pro Lite? Well, maybe yes, although it would not be one of those maneuvers that Apple performs, rather the opposite since normally what happens is that products are launched without this type of functions and then they are implemented. In the case of AirPods Pro, they already have wireless charging in the charging box, so we do not believe that the company will decide to remove this option and launch a new model, although we cannot outright deny it, we will see what happens in the coming months.
