The upcoming AirPods 3 will also get new design with smaller stem
The latest report suggests that the upcoming 3rd generation Apple AirPods will get a feature that's currently only available in the more expensive Pro version. It is possible that Apple may include a basic ANC feature on the AirPods 3, or unveil a new feature on the Pro variant to differentiate between the two earbuds. The new AirPods are also going to use a design that's similar to the Pro version, which includes a smaller stem and relocated sensors/pressure port. It will also reportedly have a semi in-ear design with removable ear tips. The stem on the new AirPods 3 will retain pressure touch inputs, but will be longer than that of the AirPods Pro. The new design will be a mash-up of the AirPods 2 and the AirPods Pro.
The charging case of AirPods 3 is also said to be similar to that of the Pro variant, but smaller in size. It will get a charging indictor on the front and support wireless charging. The report also states that the sound quality of the new AirPods won't see a lot of improvement. However, due to the semi in-ear design, users will be able to enjoy Active Noise Cancellation technology.
As mentioned in the beginning, Apple is expected to launch the new AirPods lineup sometime in Q1 2021.
