The wait for cheaper AirPods goes on. The AirPods Lite have been rumoured for a while now, but Apple's September 'Glowtime' iPhone launch event didn't see a cheap pair of earbuds arrive alongside a raft of other new AirPods and iPhones.
Apple has fared extremely well at the high end of the headphone market, with the flagship AirPods Pro 2 and AirPods Max both earning five-star reviews from our test team and selling by the bucketload, so it makes sense that it would want to expand its purview to the cheaper end of the wireless earbuds spectrum. Sadly, though, we've yet to see the rumoured Lite arrive as the year wears on.
