But Apple tends not to worry too much about price point so it's more likely they will come in at around $150/£150. In terms of price, if it was any other company, it could be possible that the AirPods 3 would seek to target the $99/£99 market, which seems to be becoming the key battleground for true wireless earphones. There is another event scheduled for 18 October though, which could see their launch. An Apple event took place on 14 September but again, no AirPods were revealed.
Bloomberg's Mark Gurman - who is typically a very reliable source - has said the entry-level AirPods update will arrive before the end of the year.
Apple held an event in April with no sign of the AirPods 3 however, and the rumoured date of 18 May was also wrong.įor now, there are no more rumours indicating a specific launch date, though production is claimed to be happening in August, suggesting we should see them before the year is out. The AirPods 2 launched in March 2019, suggesting the next generation model might have appeared in the first half of 2021. Maybe they would have a '3rd generation' addendum, but they'd almost certainly still be AirPods and we believe that rumours they'd be called AirPods Lite or AirPods Pro Lite are way off the mark. Given Apple's penchant for sticking with the same name, we anticipate that any replacement product for the current AirPods would still be called, simply, AirPods. While we'll cover the rumours surrounding the second generation of AirPods Pro within this feature, we're mostly concerned with the product we'll call AirPods 3 - the update of the main AirPods.įor all the rumours surrounding the AirPods Pro 2, you can read our separate feature.
