Many Apple users are always looking for the best device, and that sometimes makes them wait for newer models, even though the current ones have only been on the market for a short time. However, this will depend, to some extent, on the rumors of the update.
And, if you think there is not going to be something important, purchasing the current ones is a better plan. However, when you do know that there will be interesting new features, waiting may be the best option. That is why we go with the AirPods Pro 4 rumorseven though they are still far away.
First features of the AirPods Pro 4
Apple recently launched the AirPods Pro 3, but there is already talk about what its next generation will bring. According to various reports and leaks from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, the company is working on a version with improvements more focused on internal performance than on a complete redesign. That is, they will look like the current ones, but on the outside, not on the inside.
One of the most important novelties would be the new H3 chipwhich would replace the current H2. This processor promises cleaner audio, a more stable wireless connection, and lower latency, which would make calling, gaming, and music playback smoother. You could also optimize active noise cancellation and ambient mode to deliver a more natural and balanced sound. It is true that it is difficult to imagine, since the current ones are already super fast, but the idea is clear.
Another interesting rumor is the incorporation of small infrared cameras. These would not be for taking photos, but for detecting movements and gestures in the air. In this way, users could control music, answer calls or adjust the volume with simple gestures, without touching the headphones. Additionally, these cameras could integrate better with devices like the Apple Vision Pro and other augmented reality features in the Apple ecosystem. Currently, we already have some gestures, but they fall short of what the company has in mind.
Regarding the design, no major changes are expected. They would maintain a similar look to the current AirPods Pro, with the classic MagSafe charging case. There is no specific information about battery improvementsalthough it is possible that Apple is looking for a longer life thanks to the efficiency of the new chip, without changing anything on the outside, as we said, and it could even be the same box and design as the current ones (as long as the new components fit inside that chassis).
It is also unclear whether this model will be called AirPods Pro 4 or simply an update to the AirPods Pro 3. Rumor has it that They could be launched sometime in 2026so it may have been about 3.5, since there would not be much time between one and the other. In short, everything points to an internal evolution with more intelligence and better performance, rather than a complete redesign of the product, so it will depend a little on what you are looking for, whether you get the current ones, or wait.
