FULL STORY ======================================================================

After months of rumors, it came as a surprise to some that Apple didnt unveil the AirPods 3 at this weeks California Streaming iPhone 13 launch event.

However, a new report says that theres no need for concern theyre in production and could be here before the end of the year.

The report comes by way of Digitimes , and claims that the next true wireless earbuds have a finalized design and are in production. The report stops short of giving us an exact release date or price for the earbuds, but seems to suggest that theyll be available before the end of the year and only cost slightly more than the AirPods current $159 / 159 / AU$229 sticker price.

Apple, of course, has yet to corroborate or even acknowledge the rumor but
it does seem to be plausible given how much weve already heard about the forthcoming earbuds. How will the AirPods 3 be different?

According to Bloomberg , which spoke with people familiar with the plans, the AirPods 3 could include motion sensors for fitness tracking and integration with Apple Fitness Plus , along with noise reduction.

Were also expecting to see support for spatial audio and better battery life, as well as a design similar to the AirPods Pro with shorter stems.

Were also hoping theres a chance that the AirPods 3 will have outright active noise cancellation similar to the AirPods Pro but unfortunately that hasnt shown up in any of the reports weve seen so far.

At this point, were still waiting to see what the final model will look like but if it truly is out in production now, its only a matter of time before it pops up and you can bet well be covering it when it does.
