Before Apple’s “Awe Dropping” event, the technology agenda was moved again. The well-known analyst Ming-Chi Kuo changed the previous date for AirPods Pro 3. Kuo, who pointed to 2026 first, says that this model will be showcased in 2025. The new report indicates that the headset will be introduced at the same event as the iPhone 17.
The remarkable aspect of Kuo’s report was that it was completely contradictory with previous expectations. However, the report is moving in the same direction as Bloomberg’s information. Bloomberg has long been working on the camera integration of Apple’s headphones. Kuo clarifies that these cameras will not be ready until 2026. In addition, the AirPods Pro 3 will come earlier, indicates that Apple accelerates plans.
AirPods Pro 3 appears to users with new features
Airpods Pro 3 is expected to have some health -oriented sensors. It is said that the heart rate sensor used in PowerBeats Pro 2 will also be located here. In addition, a new H3 chip will be added to the headset. Thanks to this chip, both sound quality will increase and the connection will become stronger. In addition, Apple is seen to focus on wearable health technologies with this model.
There are remarkable innovations on the charging box side. According to what is said, the box will be smaller than the previous generation. Thus, it will become easier to carry and a different aesthetics will participate in the design. However, there will be no significant decrease in battery life. On the other hand, compact dimensions are thought to positively affect the user experience.
The AirPods Pro Series has long been among Apple’s sound products for a long time. Noise bruising, strong connection and loud sound quality made this series because of the choice of users. Airpods Pro 3 aims to take these advantages one step further. However, the date of pricing and the output of the market is still unclear. However, Apple’s headphones are expected to strengthen the software side.
According to KUO, the camera will be introduced in 2026. This detail can be considered a sign of Apple’s effort to move increased reality experiences to headphones. Nevertheless, it seems much more likely that the AirPods Pro 3, which is not a camera, will be on the stage this year. These two different timeline shows that Apple has spread the headset vision to the long term. Despite everything, it is not possible to make a definite interpretation without the official explanation.
The expected heart rate sensor in AirPods Pro 3 can work synchronized with Apple Watch. Thus, users will be able to make health tracking but from their headphones, not their wrists. This integration will contribute to the expansion of the Apple ecosystem. In addition, it will allow health data to be collected more accurately. Nevertheless, how these features will work will be clear.
Apple’s product calendar is usually determined behind closed doors. But this year, leaks came to the agenda much more often. Some resources have the same agreement as KUO, while others think that the promotion can be postponed. These different opinions lead to a diversification of expectations about AirPods Pro 3.
