The smaller and simpler a device is, the longer it takes Apple to launch. It happened to us recently with the famous AirTags. After a year full of rumors about its launch, they finally appeared in the month of April. And with the AirPods 3 it is happening the same.
We have been hearing rumors about the third generation of AirPods for many months. Even the first counterfeits have already appeared on the market, before the originals were released. It seems that they are already being mass produced, and will be launched alongside the iPhone 13. Let's see what has been rumored about the new ones AirPods 3.
After many months of hearing "clues" of what the third generation of Apple's famous AirPods will be like, it seems that finally manufacturing has already started en masse, and will be released (this is all hearsay) at Apple's next virtual keynote next month, along with the new iPhone 13s and Apple Watch Series 7s.
Rumor Summary
They will have a new exterior design. Without the rubber tips of the AirPods Pro, they will be an evolution of the original AirPods, so that they can adapt better to the ears. The "leg" will be shorter than that of current second-generation AirPods.
They will have improvements in connectivity and battery performance than the current ones, but they will not incorporate the "premium" functions of the AirPods Pro. Neither active noise cancellation nor transparency mode. It is expected that they are compatible, of course, with Dolby Atmos and Spatial Audio.
There are no rumors about the charging case, so we do not know if there will only be a version with wireless charging, or two versions, one with, and one without. As for the price, they will be between the current AirPods and the AirPods Pro. Between 150 and 200 Euros.
As we discussed at the beginning, it is expected that Tim Cook take them out of your pocket at the next keynote in September, where the new iPhone 13 this year, and the new Apple Watch Series 7 will be presented. We'll see if we've got it all right, or not.
