Apple insider and industry expert Mark Gurman reveals the long in his latest report expected date of introduction of the AirPods 3.

After 5 years: Apple’s AirPods 3 are finally getting a new design

As is well known, the design of the AirPods has remained unchanged so far, the desire for “variety” has unfortunately not been met in recent years. With the AirPods 3 this will change, they will finally appear in a new form. According to Gurman, Apple’s redesign will be the biggest change to the look of the earbuds since their original introduction in 2016 – the AirPods 3 change everything.

Corresponding pictures made the rounds months ago to see: New AirPods, which are based on the AirPods Pro. The focus is now on a short “stub”, that previous design will be filed. This is the end of an era. At first the AirPods were laughed at because they somehow resembled the attachments of an electric toothbrush. A little later, however, the AirPods became the most successful TWS (True Wireless Stereo) headphones in the world. There were dozens of imitators, from well-known manufacturers to countless Chinese counterfeits.

Already knew? Together with iOS 15, Apple has given the AirPods a number of new features – you can see them in the Video:

Why continue to buy the AirPods Pro?

Unfortunately, one hope will not come true: A pro feature like ANC (Active Noise Cancellation), so one there will be no active suppression of ambient noise. If you want so much comfort, you have to continue to use the AirPods Pro according to Apple’s will. By the way, they won’t get their changing of the guard until next year and are currently very inexpensive to get.
