AirPods Pro 2 launch is in the second half of 2022

The first AirPods Pro were released at the end of 2019 and successors are rumored to be announced this year. The famous Apple insider Ming-Chi Kuo claims that Apple will release the high-quality earbuds before the end of 2022.

Furthermore, Kuo brings out that the AirPods 3, which appeared at the end of 2021, did not do as well at the box office than was hoped. Many customers would opt for the older AirPods 2, because of the price difference. To avoid that mistake, Apple will remove the old AirPods Pro from stores when the new version is announced, according to Kuo.
