Apple’s AirPods 3 is here in the form of another image leak. The images below show the third generation of Apple’s mainstream TWS earbuds and are consistent with previous leaks.
Rumor has it that Apple will use an almost identical design between the AirPods 3 and the AirPods Pro, with silicone tips at the end. But we’re starting to think that the AirPods 3 will have an open ear design, like the AirPods 1 and 2, without rubber earbuds at the end.
It would make sense to distinguish the 3’s from the Pro’s. In-ear design, such as that of the AirPods Pro, provides excellent insulation from outside noise and is an excellent base for active sound suppression.
It is rumored that the AirPods 3 will have Spatial sound but no active sound suppression and that it will cost around $ 150.
Apple is expected to hold an event for the AirPods 3 later this month, possibly on March 23 (coinciding with OnePlus’ 9 and 9 Pro event).
