Apple is apparently planning on launching the third generation of its highly successful TWS earphones in the first half of 2021. According to known analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the AirPods 3 will be launched in H1 of 2021 and will feature a design similar to the AirPods Pro.
Apple’s AirPods Pro was launched back in November 2019 and featured an in-ear design, which featured soft and flexible silicone tips. This was a notable departure from its traditional earphone designs. Furthermore, the Cupertino based giant also offered a number of improvements and offered great features like active noise cancellation, improved sound quality, and water resistance as well.
Kuo also stated that the upcoming iPhone 12 lineup will not feature EarPods in the box. This move from Apple is reportedly to boost its AirPods sales which seem likely since its hearables offerings are one of the top selling within its category. Unfortunately, the pricing of the next gen AirPods is unknown, but it might be around $199 (similar to the second-generation AirPods) or $249 (similar to the AirPods Pro).
