There are widespread rumors that Apple is working on third-generation AirPods, with images and versions leaking, suggesting that the new earphone will have a similar design to the AirPods Pro, including shorter stems. Although the new AirPods look like the AirPods Pro, they are not expected to contain active noise cancellation.
“Kang” also believed that the 12.9-inch iPad Pro will sell out the 11-inch model in 2021, suggesting that the next-generation 12.9-inch iPad Pro may have at least one exclusive feature in comparison with the 11-inch model. There are rumors that Apple has a new iPad Pro with a Mini-LED screen in the pipeline, but most rumors only mention the 12.9-inch model, so maybe Mini-LED is exclusive to the 12 , 9-inch model.
The new 12.9-inch iPad Pro is also expected to have a faster A14X chip and support 5G networks on cellular connectivity models. It is possible that these two features may extend to a new 11-inch model, but this is unclear.
‘Kang’ recently suggested that Apple plan to host an event on Tuesday, March 23, where the new AirPods and the new iPad Pro could be announced. Other products that are reportedly in Apple’s pipeline include the long-awaited AirTags trackers, a new Apple TV with more game-orientation and a redesigned iMac powered by Apple silicone, but it’s unclear if any of these products this month be introduced. .
‘Kang’ has an almost perfect record with Apple rumors, after leaking accurate details about iPhone 12 models, Apple Watch Series 6 models, the fourth generation iPad Air, the HomePod mini and many other devices in recent months.
