A new photo claims to show what Apple’s next-gen AirPods are going to look like. The new design features a shorter stem and looks similar to Apple’s AirPods Pro design. AirPods 3 will include improved audio performance, better battery life, and more sizing options.
A new image that leaked online over the weekend purports to show us what Apple’s next-gen pair of AirPods are going to look like. Originally shared by 52audio, the image seemingly corroborates some previous rumors we’ve seen about Apple’s third-gen AirPods, namely that they’re going to borrow a few design elements from Apple’s AirPods Pro. As evidenced from the photo below, Apple’s new AirPods will boast a shorter stem than the first two generations and will ship with silicone ear tips. The charging case is also shorter and wider and closely resembles the case from the AirPods Pro. These design shifts, however, are where the similarities between Apple’s AirPods 3 and AirPods Pro end. As a means of differentiation, and to keep the price point low, Apple’s third-gen AirPods will reportedly not include the noise cancellation feature Apple introduced on its Pro line.
