Previously, we reported that Apple may be working on a more affordable ‘AirPods Lite’ to compete with budget wireless earbuds and now, more information has come out regarding this development. According to reliable tipster Ming-Chi Kuo, the alleged affordable AirPods will launch alongside a new AirPods Max as early as the second half of 2024.

Apple has just released a new firmware for its popular line of wearable wireless audio devices which includes the AirPods 2, AirPods Pro and the AirPods Max. Currently at firmware version 4E71, it is replacing the previous version of 4C165.

Today, Apple has released another iOS update patch and it's a good one for iPhone 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max owners. In iOS 14.3, the new software upgrade includes support for Apple ProRAW for the iPhone 12 Pro variants, as well as AirPods Max and Apple Fitness+. 

Other than the Apple AirPods Max which was unveiled very recently, you can also purchase a 1.2 metre long 3.5mm audio jack to lightning cable at the price of RM199 via Apple Malaysia’s official store. The aforementioned cable can be attached to either the AirPods Max, or the Beats Solo Pro headphones which allows you to listen to audio coming from sources that output analog audio.
