AirPods Pro getting an upgrade? Rumors hint at 'digital ANC'
Rumors surrounding the highly anticipated Apple AirPods Pro 3 are heating up. A recent leak suggests the next generation of Apple's flagship wireless earbuds could boast significantly improved digital active noise cancellation (ANC) feature. This information was shared by serial leaker Kosutami, who has a reliable track record of predicting Apple product updates. The exact nature of the digital ANC enhancement remains unclear, but it is expected to be a significant upgrade from the current version.
New AirPods Pro could debut at Apple's special event
This new AirPods Pro 3 could potentially be announced at Apple's special event on September 9, alongside the debut of the iPhone 16 series. However, Kosutami did not provide a specific timeline for the arrival of digital ANC feature, stating only that it would happen "soon." It is unclear whether the new digital ANC feature will remain exclusive to the new-generation earbuds or if Apple will offer it to existing AirPods Pro earbuds through a firmware update.
AirPods Pro 3 to pack new audio chip
The leak also mentions the inclusion of a new audio chip within the AirPods Pro 3. This could offer improved sound quality and potentially enhance features like transparency mode. Additionally, whispers of "health features" being integrated into the earbuds raise intriguing possibilities. While exciting, it's important to consider the limitations of these leaks. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, a well-respected Apple insider, previously suggested the next generation of AirPods Pro might not arrive until 2025.
