According to a number of rumors, the latest Apple AirPods 3 has just been leaked with both its looks and expected features online. Previous suggestions noted that the upcoming version of the said entry-level AirPods will reportedly look like the current AirPods Pro.

Are AirPods 3 coming out?

A report by 52 Audio, a site with a decent track record, has just published some photos of what reportedly looks like the next AirPods. While they do look like the said AirPods Pro, they do have shorter stems as well as a more bulbous earpiece.

The rumored charging case will also reportedly be wider as well as more narrow compared to the current case of the known AirPods which would also match with the AirPods Pro case a bit more closely but not as wide compared to the Pro version.

What actually differentiates the AirPods 3 in comparison to the AirPods Pro seems to be the said arrangement of other vents that are designed to equalize the pressure in order to permit them to be better worn without discomfort.

What's not quite clear, however is just what the upcoming ear tips will be like. Since the current AirPods Pro are equipped with the silicone ear tips creating noise cancellation, the regular AirPods, however, are not.

AirPods 3 rumors

The images then reportedly show that the purported AirPods 3 won't have ear tips on but still suggest that they might be supplied. The report also makes a surprising claim that users can expect an AirPods Pro audio feature that is introduced to AirPods 3 known as the Spatial Audio.

For those that haven't tried either the AirPods Pro or the newer AirPods Max, it is still pretty dreamy. This means that with exactly the right content, either watching a movie or show on the compatible iPhone or iPad, would allow users to tap into cinema-like sounds. The new Spatial audio reportedly also comes along with dynamic head tracking for users to be able to turn while the audio remains locked to the tablet or phone.

Will there be new AirPods in 2021? AirPods 3 release date

According to Forbes, it is still pretty surprising how the premium feature would then come to the entry-level version of the upcoming AirPods. If this would be true, then it would make a huge difference between both the AirPods 3 in comparison to the AirPods Pro with noise-canceling which the said AirPods Pro can offer its users.

The Apple AirPods 3 release date could actually be as soon as March 2021 which means users won't really have to wait that long. With the design, there are reportedly a number of other questions that can be answered like the AirPods 3 price or if it would be really called the AirPods 3.

If the upcoming ones are going to be a direct replacement to the current AirPods, the article suggests that it might be its upcoming name.

If the headphones, however, would sit between the AirPods Pro as well as the current headphones, either the AirPods Pro SE or the AirPods Plus could be its name.
