A new clue confirms what many already suspected: the successors to the Apple AirPods 3 earbuds are coming this year.
AirPods Pro 3 with heart rate tracking and a new design in September? ££££
The information comes to us from coder Aaron Perris on X who discovered a new line of text in one of Apple's latest software updates. The reference "AirPods Pro 2nd generation" is thus replaced by "AirPods Pro 2 or later", strongly suggesting that the arrival of a new version is in the making.
As a reminder, a heart rate measurement feature could be integrated into this third generation of earbuds. Knowing that it is already available on the Powerbeats Pro 2 (owned by Apple), its arrival on the AirPods Pro 3 is almost certain. Other expected new features include a new H3 chip, improved noise cancellation, and a redesigned design.
If we look at releases from previous years, these new earbuds are expected to launch next September alongside the iPhone 17.
