Surprising move, Apple has reportedly started clearing out its old AirPods Pro inventory at record-low prices, marking one of the biggest discounts the company has ever offered on its premium earbuds. According to insiders and retail partners, select regions are seeing massive price cuts, with some units being sold for what can only be described as “mere pennies” compared to their original launch price.
The reason behind this aggressive clearance is simple — Apple is preparing for the arrival of the next-generation AirPods Pro 3, expected to launch later this year with a redesigned case, better battery life, and advanced health sensors. To make space in retail channels, Apple and its partners have begun offloading remaining stock of the AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) at shockingly low rates.
Tech analysts say this move highlights Apple’s shifting market strategy — keeping its accessories lineup fresh while ensuring no unsold stock remains before new launches. Retailers in the U.S., U.K., and parts of Asia are already offering deep discounts and bundle offers, and some online platforms are listing AirPods Pro units for as low as $89–$99, a fraction of their $249 launch price.
Users looking for premium wireless earbuds might not get a better deal anytime soon. Despite being an older model, the AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) still offer Active Noise Cancellation, Adaptive Transparency, and the H2 chip — features that remain competitive even today.
Experts believe this clearance wave could continue through the holiday season until Apple officially announces its new AirPods lineup. For now, bargain hunters are rushing to grab the deal while stocks last.
