Apple may have the new AirPods 3 ready for 2021. After a year spent trapped in my house and trying to urge work done, AirPods became a practically essential tool. There are many other excellent Bluetooth earbuds existing, but AirPods are still impressively instant and have dedicated microphones.
Plus, having the ability to swap from one ear to a different one has helped me extend battery life by one-earing my way through long meetings. There is a lot more information about AirPods 3 in this article.
AirPods 3
The second-gen AirPods are a year and a half old, while AirPods Pro are a year old, and have continued to evolve. And therefore, the massively expensive AirPods Max arrived with a distinct proposition.
AirPods Pro-Lite buds could shift all AirPods to the professional look
The latest reports say that the third-gen AirPods will appear as if the Pros, minus the active noise cancellation and spatial audio features. Which suggests they’ll have shorter stems and have replaceable ear tips in several sizes.
I appreciate the AirPods Pro design and its less visible look, but I’ve got mixed feelings about the ear tips. The deeper in-ear feel seals off for better noise-blocking, but I appreciate the simpler. And more pass-through-friendly design of the originals for casual call-monitoring.

This means the new third-gen AirPods will start at $199 (vs $159 for gen two) and The Elec says that Apple will scrap their iconic design in favor of an AirPods Pro-inspired look, but without noise canceling.

AirPods 3 Design
Digging inside the design of the new AirPods, The Elec states that Apple will use a redesigned version of the H1 audio chip seen in both the AirPods Pro and second-gen AirPods. No new functionality is detailed, just that it will shift from a round to square form factor. Interestingly, the site also claims that Apple planned to introduce these new AirPods earlier but pushed the launch back “as Airpods Pro were selling better than expected.”
Much like its predecessors, the AirPods 3 may introduce some new features, while carrying over signature ones from the AirPods Pro such as adaptive sound and a customizable fit. Should this be the case, the Apple AirPods 3 could wind up becoming another Apple product that has been rumored for a while: the AirPods Pro Lite. A stripped-down version of the AirPods Pro at a cheaper cost? It’s a strong possibility, but one that remains uncertain, for now.
