Okay, the AirPods Pro 2 dropped back in 2022. You guys saw it, I was there, but at this point
0:05
we're waiting on something new. It's looking like the AirPods Pro 3 might finally be coming
0:11
so let's talk about what to expect. Let me start with the release timeline. Based on Apple's usual
0:16
calendar, I could argue that we should have already seen the AirPods Pro 3, but instead
0:21
we just got that USB-C refresh back in 2023. But some insiders are now pointing to a late 2025
0:27
launch, aka during the iPhone 17 event in September, or maybe never. Kidding, but barely
0:34
Price-wise, don't expect too many surprises. The AirPods Pro have been locked in at $250
0:39
since day one, and the competition, like Sony and Bose, have actually raised their prices in the
0:45
meantime. So unless Apple wants to match them, $250 is probably still the sweet spot to expect
0:52
But tariffs are throwing all sorts of price increase speculations across the entire
0:56
consumer technology industry. And the fact that the AirPods 4 with ANC costs $179
1:02
that might be giving Apple some wiggle room. Now into the fun stuff, the features. First up
1:08
I think a heart rate monitor is a no brainer. Not only is Apple on this big health centric mission
1:13
but there are all sorts of quotes out there from execs talking about how they believe Apple can
1:18
have such a big impact in health. But the fact that the Powerbeats Pro 2 has this feature makes
1:23
me think the pros are just guaranteed to get them next. Whether rumors about also getting
1:28
temperature sensors will materialize and take health tracking to even a higher level, well
1:33
TBD. From a design standpoint, there's this rumor about a touchscreen on the AirPods Pro 3 case
1:39
Personally, I'm not sold. Like, am I really going to pull out the case to skip a track when my iPhone
1:45
is just always in my hand? And yeah, there's even this talk about camera-equipped AirPods out there
1:50
Did you see that? I don't know. It probably for a future version I think I saw the word 2026 thrown around there Or maybe it just be something that pairs with Apple smart glasses I don know I just don think AirPods are there yet There are other brands being a little bit more ambitious with rethinking how you use your
2:07
earbuds, but AirPods are so popular for a reason. A lot of that is that simplicity and basic
2:13
conveniences. So now let's talk about performance. Apple is expected to debut a new H3 connectivity
2:18
chip, which could mean a couple of different things. Better ANC, more battery life, a longer
2:23
connection range, and possibly improve sound quality. Of all of those, battery life is for
2:30
sure the big one for me. I'd love to see eight hours of listening time from the buds and at least
2:34
30 extra hours from the case. That would put them just a little bit ahead of what Sony and Bose's
2:39
flagships currently offer. And if they make the audio more dynamic on top of that, even better
2:45
I'm sure we're going to hear a lot more as we get closer to AirPods Pro 3 making this
2:51
rumored expected debut but from what I've been hearing they're shaping up to be more than just
2:57
a refresh that makes me so excited because I love my AirPod Pro 2s I use them all the time
3:02
I myself have probably bought six or seven pairs over the years for gifts for people
3:07
I recommend them all the time because it's true they're the complete package
3:12
Or maybe I should say they definitely were. I do think they are starting to show their age
3:17
So whether it's sensors, screens, or a smarter chip, hopefully Apple has a way to spark the hype again
3:24
But the real question is, what would you want in the next AirPods Pro
3:28
Better battery, more health features, or just maybe a pair that doesn't die mid-flight
