buyers. <em>9to5Mac<\/em> Would you like to see Apple launch the next generation at a slightly lower price, perhaps at a bargaining price of $499?<\/p>\n<p>Apple has been regularly discounting existing AirPods Max by up to 15% less than one year after launch, so a slight price cut is possible.<\/p>\n<p>As for what other improvements Apple could make to AirPods Max in an update, bringing Lossless Audio for Apple Music into its most expensive audio product makes it a good candidate.<\/p>\n<p>You can see all AirPods Max concepts here at
