  • →Apple iPad Pro M5 likely Q3 — hold off heavy M4 stocking

Beonics Take

Strong tee-up for the festive build. Distributors should secure premium TWS and portable speaker inventory through June for Diwali corporate gifting orders that typically lock in by August. Watch unit-economics on Apple AirPods Pro 2 — direct competition from Sony WF-1000XM5 is sharpening price negotiations.
