AirPods are one of the accessories that has done the best for Apple in terms of sales in recent years. It is quite common to see many users on the street wearing a pair of headphones from the Cupertino company in their ears. That is why from Apple they already propose the renewal of these headphones for next year as reported by Bloomberg.
AirPods 3 and AirPods Pro 2 for 2021
Apple is preparing the launch of new wireless headphones for iPhone, updating those that are currently on the market. This would include the AirPods from entering and also the ‘Pro’ range that will arrive to be able to apply all the demands that users have made. Specifically, the new AirPods 3 would arrive with a design very similar to that of the first generation AirPods Pro with a much shorter cane and replaceable ear pads. Although these pads are included, they obviously will not include active noise cancellation. While this is a good thing to ensure the headphones don’t fall out of the ears and gain passive noise cancellation. This is something obvious, since it is sought not to overshadow the ‘Pro’ range with the aim that they remain the entry range. Another novelty that they are expected to include is an improvement in autonomy.
As for the AirPods Pro 2, they could arrive with a design very similar to Samsung‘s Galaxy Buds. That is, they could be more compact by eliminating the small pole where the microphone is located. In addition, they would bet on a more rounded shape so that it fits better to the ears of the users. This obviously poses a huge challenge for Apple as all sensors, antennas and microphones must be kept in a much smaller space. That is why this information should be considered with many doubts until the product is completely finished.
According to the reports that have been collected by Bloomberg, the third generation AirPods could reach the market in the first quarter of 2021. In addition, the AirPods Pro would be ready to launch by the end of 2021. This would coincide quite well with the dates of release of previous generations. What is not referred to in any case is the price that these accessories will have. It is possible that from Apple they will continue to maintain it although everything will depend on the benefits that are included.
In an extra way, the reports point to the preparation of a new HomePod that would be between the mini model and the original. Although, it is not clear if this product will finally be launched on the market.
What about the AirPods Studio?
All eyes right now are focused on the possible launch of the AirPods Pro. At the moment the launch date of these new headband headphones is unknown. The information is quite mixed as while some analysts point to a launch at the November event, others believe that it will go next year. It is possible that there are some production problems that make it impossible to launch immediately. In the hypothetical case that they end up being presented in November, it is likely that there will be a significant delay in shipments something that the Cupertino company may not want to tolerate.
