Apple is expected to announce AirPods 3 in the first half of 2021. The AirPods 3 will be replacing the second generation AirPods 2 and will finally bring a redesign that will replace the original AirPods design that debuted back in 2016 alongside iPhone 7.
The new AirPods 3 are rumored to feature an AirPods Pro inspired design and are said to have an in-ear headphones design along with a noticeably shorter stem. They will also have replaceable ear tips just like the Pro model. We know this from a recent Bloomberg report that shared details about this affordable AirPods variant.
Now 52audio (via) has posted images of what appears to be ‘X-Ray images’ of parts of the upcoming AirPods 3rd generation.
The images show the upper part of the headphones themselves tucked inside the enclosure cover of the charging case. X-Ray images compare the AirPods 3 with the current AirPods Pro and show that the AirPods case will be smaller in size than the Pro model.
