Last week we published an article in the according to various sources, the launch of 3rd generation AirPods would reach the market throughout that month of March. However, new sources claim the opposite. According to L0vetodream, confirming Ming-Chi Kuo's previous report, production of the AirPods 3 will not start until the end of the year.
Kuo stated a few days ago that the third generation of AirPdos were in development but that the supply chain I was not prepared to manufacture them en masse until the third quarter of 2021, destroying previous rumors that pointed to the end of March for its launch.
L0vetodream has a very high confirmed prediction history. In fact, he was one of the few leakers to claim that the first Macs with Apple Silicon processors would be the Mac Mini and the 13-inch MacBook Air. He also hit with the name of the HomePod mini, the name of the entire iPhone 12 range, the colors of the new iPad Air ...
Continuing with the rumors, these suggest that the third generation of the AirPods 3 share much of the design of the AirPods Pro, but without integrating the noise cancellation system or the ear-strap design.
During the previous weeks, many sources assumed that the AirPods 3 would be part of the product launch that Apple would have planned for a event that Apple would celebrate on March 23. At the moment this date is still unknown and time is running out.
If Apple plans to hold an event for the month of March, it should make the announcement in the next few days, at the latest before next Friday, March 19, an event that will be online like the rest of the events that Apple held in 2020 due to the pandemic.
