Delhi : The AirPods Pro 3 truly wireless stereo (TWS) earphones from Apple are slated to be released in the second half of 2025. The next-generation AirPods are not anticipated to be released for some months, but information regarding their characteristics has been leaked. The AirPods Pro 3 are claimed to include a redesigned earbud design, an H3 chip, and improved Active Noise Cancellation (ANC). Apple is also likely to include additional health functions, such as a temperature sensor, with the AirPods Pro 3.

Likely characteristics of the AirPods Pro 3 are based on industry trends and the most recent speculations. Apple is likely to improve audio quality while updating the look of the earphones and case.

It has been rumoured that the earbuds would have additional features and superior ANC performance compared to the AirPods Pro (2nd Generation). The AirPods Pro 2 deliver lossless audio when combined with Apple's Vision Pro mixed reality headset.

The future AirPods Pro 3 are said to be powered by a new speedier H3 processor. With the announcement of the AirPods Pro 2, Apple introduced the H2 chip. The chip is responsible for features like ANC, Hey Siri, quick switching, and adaptive EQ. Furthermore, Apple is apparently developing a hearing test to assist consumers in detecting hearing health issues early. The built-in function may play tones and noises to assess hearing ability and offer comments on hearing health. 

Should the AirPods identify a hearing problem, the manufacturer may advise customers to see a physician for more assistance. These characteristics could contribute in the company's positioning of the AirPods as a substitute for hearing aids.

It is anticipated that Apple would include a temperature sensor in the next AirPods Pro model. Users might be able to monitor their health in real time using this function. Apple has patented AirPods with biometric sensors that track temperature, sweat, heart rate, and other metrics.

September 2025 is when the AirPods Pro 3 is expected to be released. They may be revealed concurrently with the iPhone 17 series. During September's Wonderlust event, Apple revealed a new version of the AirPods Pro (2nd Generation) with USB Type-C. In India, their cost is fixed at Rs. 24,900.
