Are you eagerly waiting for the release of AirPods 3? I am sure, you must be excited if you are a fan of Apple products. As we all know that Apple doesn’t follow trends, rather it creates trends, it has come a long way from earbuds to AirPods 3. Follow this article to find out about the release date and specs of Airpods 3.
Apple's next-generation AirPods 3 have been making headlines for quite some time now. Rumours circulated a few weeks earlier that the debut would coincide with the release of Apple Music HiFi on May 18. But that didn't happen, so we're still trying to figure out when Apple will release the AirPods 3.
We've learned a lot about the Apple AirPods 3, thanks to leaks. It is believed to have a similar design to the AirPods Pro, but with thinner stems, no replaceable tips.. This would have been the first design since the 2016 release of AirPods.
Even though Apple hasn't revealed anything regarding the AirPods 3, our ray of hope for the information about this upcoming product was the WWDC 2021 event. With all that in mind, I've chosen to go over all that we've learned about the Apple AirPods 3.
Key New Features
#1 Specs And Features of AirPods 3
1. Specs And Features of AirPods 3
Until now, numerous renderings and live images of the rumored Apple AirPods 3 have appeared on the internet. Several Vloggers have also shown off similar-looking clones. According to these reports, the next AirPods will have a shorter stem, similar to the Apple AirPods Pro. Some leaks have also hinted at the advent of replaceable tips, which some people oppose.
There is a youtube channel called "EverythingApplePro EAP", where the specs and features of a clone which could be the real features of Airpods 3 are leaked. As per this video, I could understand a few features of Airpods 3, which are given below.
2. Design of AirPod 3
The AirPods 3 are likely to get a design refresh, although to a familiar look. The Chinese blog 52audio initially revealed an apparent peek at the next-generation AirPods, which have a remarkably similar appearance to the AirPods Pro. Apple's speculated earbuds are likely to eliminate the long stem and adopt the AirPods Pro's silicone ear tips. To back this up, a recent Bloomberg story says that the upcoming AirPods 3 would feature a shorter stem, similar to the existing AirPods Pro. In addition, the charging case is likely to be similar in style but a touch broader.
3. Wireless Chip and SIP
According to Bloomberg, the third-generation AirPods will have a wireless chip in instead of the H1 processor. This is likely to enhance the second-generation devices' five-hour battery life and perhaps include new functionality. In addition, according to Kuo, the next-generation AirPods would employ a Small System-In-Package (SiP) design similar to the AirPods Pro.
This suggests that the AirPods 3 may have ANC and a transparency mode, an adjustable EQ, and spatial audio. 52 Audio believes the AirPods will have at least ANC.
As earlier leaks have indicated, the case is now less detailed and tall. In addition, the driver's housing is somewhat thinner than that of the AirPods Pro.
4. Audio Features
The next generation of AirPods may also be able to alter the volume of music based on what's going on around them. This functionality was patented by Apple in August of last year.
The patent goes on to detail how future AirPods may assist drivers in staying safe on the road by combining GPS data from a smartphone or wearable with positional data from the earphones themselves.
Aside from that, spatial audio features may find their way to the Apple AirPods 3. Currently, the functionality is only available on the AirPods Pro and AirPods Max.
Apple began extending its spatial audio feature boundaries by integrating dynamic head tracking on its popular AirPods Pro and AirPods Max when watching TV shows or listening to music on macOS and tvOS. Given that the functionality was recently announced at WWDC 2021, it's probable that the new AirPods will have the same function but at a considerably lower price.
5 Release Date of AirPods 3
According to Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, bulk production of the third-generation AirPods will begin in the third quarter of 2021, implying that the new earphones would not be released in the first half of this year as previously anticipated. This rumour comes just days after the AirPods 3 design images were revealed earlier in 2021.
According to Kuo, as published by MacRumors, Apple has a few shipping difficulties in coping with. Specifically, if the AirPods 3 are released and the existing AirPods 2 is subsequently sold at a lower price, it may have an impact on third-generation sales.
According to the study, despite the popularity of the AirPods, Apple ecosystem support, and the noise cancellation of the AirPods Pro, "sales statistics reveal that customers are not particularly ready to spend more than $100 to acquire the selling features of AirPods Pro."
If the projected release date is correct, it will put an end to rumours that the AirPods 3 will be released in March. GizmoChina claims to have received leaked renderings of the AirPods 3 from an Apple supply chain source. Typically, with a projected Apple event so close, leaks from reliable sources indicate an approaching launch.
According to the renderings, the AirPods 3 will resemble the Apple AirPods Pro, with a slashed stem and interchangeable ear tips. However, the renderings, according to GizmoChina, are of the ready-for-market version. The current AirPods 2 were released in March 2019; thus, it seems to be the reason that the next-generation wireless earphones would be revealed during an Apple event in March.
6. Price of Airpods 3
This month, you can get cheap AirPods discounts all over the place. That's great news for Apple lovers since it means there are AirPods for every price range. In fact, Apple's whole headphone portfolio, including the AirPods Pro, is presently witnessing some of the greatest cheap AirPods deals.
The AirPods Pro are now on sale for $189 on Amazon. That's a $59 discount and the lowest price for Apple's premium buds right now. Meanwhile, if you're looking for the best inexpensive AirPods, Amazon sells them for $119. That's one of the greatest AirPods bargains to date, as well as their second-lowest price. Even Apple's premium AirPods Max is presently on sale for the lowest price they've ever been.
Winding-Up
