It’s been more than a year since the AirPods Pro 2 launched, which means the much-loved in-ear headphones are in need of an update. Mark Gurman from Bloomberg hinted that the popular headphones would be released in 2025. However, a recent tweet from reliable Apple leaker Kosutami revealed that we’d be getting the AirPods Pro 3 much sooner than expected. Both Gurman and Kosutami have been extremely reliable in their predictions so it’ll be interesting to see who’s right this time.
The tweet says that the AirPods Pro 3 will come with upgraded digital ANC performance, leading to improvements in noise cancellation. Along with the “much better” ANC capabilities, users can expect a similar price point as the AirPods Pro 2, which stands at $249.
Kosutami also said that the 4th generation of the AirPods will be “announced soon”. They’ll come in two variants: the AirPods 4 and AirPods Lite, according to Bloomberg.
Apple is set to announce this along with a whole host of other products during its special event on September 9th at the Steve Jobs Theater at Apple Park in Cupertino, CA. The iPhone 16 including its Plus, Pro, and Max variants will be unveiled at the event. The Pro and Max versions will keep the three-camera layout but the screens could be larger.
The event’s tagline is “It’s Glowtime” which hints at the codename of macOS Sequoia. All signs point to the new macOS being released alongside, or around the same time, as iOS 18, which will get its release date announced at the event, according to Gurman on Twitter/X.
