While some companies have been actively looking to shift manufacturing resources to Taiwan, overall production across a range of products is expected to take a hit.<\/p>\n<p>As it pertains to Apple, a new report from <em>DigiTimes<\/em> relays that the coronavirus might see Apple release its rumored AirPods Pro Lite a little bit later than initially anticipated. Word of Apple\u2019s potentially releasing a more wallet-friendly version of its popular AirPods Pro first surfaced last week, though we haven\u2019t seen any details regarding how much it might cost or what features it might leave out as to differentiate it from Apple\u2019s AirPods Pro.<\/p>\n<p>In any event, the <em>Digitimes<\/em> report claims that AirPods Pro Lite production will not commence sometime during the second quarter as initially planned. The report doesn\u2019t shed any light as to when production might begin or when Apple is planning to introduce its low-cost wireless earbuds to the market.<\/p>\n<p>All that said, the actual AirPods Pro Lite rumor should be taken with a grain of salt. The rumor first surfaced via <em>Digitimes<\/em> which has a somewhat spotty track record when it comes to Apple rumors. And as alluded to above, it\u2019s not entirely clear how a cheaper AirPods Pro product would fit into Apple\u2019s product line.<\/p>\n<p>To this point, Apple\u2019s AirPods Pro are currently priced at $249 while regular AirPods with a wireless charging case retails for $199. Meanwhile, regular AirPods with a regular charging case will set you back $159. In light of that, there doesn\u2019t seem to be a lot of room for a new AirPods Pro model in Apple\u2019s product lineup.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span class=\"description img-caption\"><span class=\"source\">Image Source: Apple<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"author-bio\">\n<div class=\"author-bio-image-container with-avatar\">\n\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ww-vb.mine.nu\/w108\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/All-the-unexpected-products-Apple-is-set-to-release-in.jpg\" height=\"52px\" width=\"47px\"\/><\/div>\n<p>\n\t\tA life long Mac user and Apple enthusiast, Yoni Heisler has been writing about Apple and the tech industry at large for over 6 years.
