New developments, reported MacRumors, suggest the AirPods Pro 3 are almost ready to launch. The name in Apple’s software has changed from “AirPods Pro 2nd generation” to “AirPods Pro 2 or later”, suggesting a new model will be released soon. Apple generally reveals audio products in September when revealing iPhones; the company has a record of launching them earlier than expected. AirPods Pro 3 could attract much attention at the event, especially when paired with Apple’s updated software.

AirPods Pro 3 are almost ready to launch, and many fans are eagerly awaiting their unveiling at WWDC on June 9, 2025. It is expected that the next-generation earbuds will be a big advancement over the AirPods Pro 2, which only got a minor USB-C update since they were launched in 2022. Since WWDC has always been about software, a new AirPods Pro release would be an unexpected but clear sign that Apple plans to update its premium audio accessories.

AirPods Pro 3: New health features

The AirPods Pro 3 may use the H3 chip, which will take over from the H2 chip found in the current AirPods Pro 2. The upcoming H3 is said to increase the performance of active noise cancellation (ANC) and make audio processing and battery life better. According to the leaks, the ANC performance should improve user experiences by dealing with recent firmware issues and delivering better sound quality. Mobile devices now often support high-resolution audio, which appeals to anyone who wants the best sound quality.

AirPods Pro 3 are expected to bring new health-monitoring functions that make them different from their previous models. Some sources believe the earbuds could have in-ear heart rate tracking, like the Powerbeats Pro 2 already has. In-ear monitoring gives more precise results than wrist sensors when you are exercising intensely, such as when running. It is also expected that Apple will track temperature in the ear, improving users’ health insights by using the skin temperature sensors in its watches.

AirPods Pro 3: Sleek design overhaul

Apple may introduce new designs for the earbuds and their case. While the stem is a familiar aspect for Apple’s earbuds, the AirPods Pro 3 could be designed more elegantly. The charging case could become smaller like the AirPods 4, but this could mean that MagSafe and Qi2 wireless charging might not work anymore. According to rumours, the LED indicator and physical pairing button are set to disappear, with Apple wanting users to control the AirPods with gestures for a smoother experience.
