Petr Škuta The first enthusiastic impressions have already flooded social networks and technology magazines. But many users are wondering why AirPods Pro came so soon and whether they are meant to replace the current AirPods 2.
AirPods Pro delivers what users have wanted since the first generation. For example, active noise suppression, partial water resistance for sports or higher sound quality. The new plug-in AirPods bring all this together with a correspondingly increased price tag.
Meanwhile, some users wondered why he released two generations of AirPods in such quick succession. Is the Pro model supposed to replace the half-year-old version of AirPods 2? Apple CEO Tim Cook commented on this topic when commenting on the financial results for the fourth fiscal quarter of this year.
AirPods consistently exceed expectations. I believe they will be just as successful next quarter. We are really proud of another product for people who have been crying out for active noise cancellation. AirPods Pro now delivers.
We are very happy to see customer interest in AirPods Pro. But I'm guessing that especially at first it will be people who already have AirPods. But many have longed for a noise-canceling version for situations where this feature comes in handy.
AirPods 2 and AirPods Pro side by side
Due to the launch date, the new AirPods Pro did not have time to show in financial results for the past quarter. Their sales will only be reflected in the following.
The "wearables" (wearables), home and accessories category reached new records. Unfortunately, Apple does not accurately distinguish sales of individual products, so analysts must accurately estimate the number of Apple Watches, AirPods, HomePods and other accessories.
AirPods 2 were originally supposed to come with the expected AirPower wireless charger. However, he was unable to produce this even after more than a year of effort. The function of charging three devices at once (standard Watch, iPhone and AirPods) turned out to be a bigger challenge than Apple expected.
So the second generation of AirPods finally came out separately with minor improvements, such as the H1 chip, slightly longer battery life or a wireless charging case. AirPods Pro will thus be served alongside this version as a higher model and alternative.
