Newly introduced the second-generation AirPods a few weeks ago alongside the previously unveiled wireless charging box, We are already getting rumors of what would be the third generation AirPods.
The rumor speaks of the possibility of a few new AirPods with built-in noise-canceling features for the end of 2019, with no further news for now.
From Digitimes The news of these possible third generation AirPods arrives with two interesting rumors. The first, that would arrive by the end of this year 2019.
Recall that the first AirPods were presented in 2016. In 2017 and 2018 we did not have new versions, and it was a few weeks ago, in March 2019, when the long-awaited renewal of the AirPods with the new second generation AirPods has arrived. A) Yes, two years without being renewed and it seems that in the same year they will do it twice.
On the other hand, the other half of the rumor is that they will feature noise cancellation. Without much more to say about this rumor, we must remember that, right now, the AirPods (first and second generation), do not have any type of noise cancellation, neither active nor passive.
Not to be confused with call noise reduction, which allows our voice to be heard clearer in the speaker or earpiece of our interlocutor.
Thus, passive noise cancellation would require a new design (though not mentioned in the rumors), and an active cancellation would require hardware and lead to higher battery consumption (In addition, it would also require the passive noise cancellation part).
These third-generation AirPods would be manufactured mostly by Taiwan's Inventec, keeping China´s Luxshare with the rest of the orders.
Waiting for more rumors It seems very likely that these third generation AirPods will arrive in 2019 and ideally they will arrive for the Christmas sales campaign.
Ufffff There are going to be a lot of angry people….
