I think this is the number one product for Pathfinder Second Edition that I will be looking forward to.
I don't know that it is even planned, but the original Beginner's Box was one of my favorite Pathfinder purchases during the first edition era.
The beginner box rocks! But it took a while to come out. D&D5e released theirs pretty fast on the new edition so... No way to tell when this one will come out.

The purpose of the Beginner's Box was to make the hurdle for entry lower for new players than the CRB.
I believe that Paizo's hope is to make the P2e CRB more user-friendly, thus eliminating the need for a separate set of simpler rules to ease a rookie's way into the game.
I.e., if they've done their job right, the P2e rulebook and related materials will be the Beginner's Box.

In practice, I suspect you still want a Beginner's Box eventually, just because you can bundle up rules, a map, pawns, dice, etc. An easier to learn core game would mean that the rules would be just a subset of the CRB though, as opposed to what they had to do for the PF1 Beginner's Box.
Didn't they say they're not doing one?

They said they aren't doing one right now. Not that they aren't doing one ever.
