It sounds like not everything that’s new and cool about the impending AirPods Pro 3 will actually be functional right off the bat.
Although admittedly not the most exciting product Apple is widely expected to unveil next week, the AirPods Pro 3 are undoubtedly having their appeal substantially boosted by the advanced age of the company’s current best wireless earbuds.
Yes, the AirPods Pro 2 are nearly three years old (two in a version bundled with a USB-C charging case), which naturally means the new edition that’s virtually guaranteed to see daylight this fall is also just about etched in stone as a major upgrade of its predecessor.
Interestingly (although not exactly shockingly), the AirPods Pro 3 are tipped to look largely the same as the Pro 2 on the outside. which almost makes me more excited about a presumably spectacular set of internal upgrades. According to multiple credible sources around the interweb, that will include a long-awaited (and rumored) heart rate monitor, an equally handy temperature sensor, and a live translation feature that a number of Apple’s rivals have actually supported for a while now.
