Although they will not be called AirPods Pro 4, because the changes are not big enough to call them a new version, we will see a new most advanced model of AirPods Pro 3with improvements that many may be interested in.
That is why, today, we will talk about the rumors that we receive about these, and that we could see them at the end of the year, leaving aside the current ones, and improving them with features that Apple sees as interesting so that everyone notices them.
New version of the AirPods Pro 3
It seems that Apple is not satisfied with the AirPods Pro that it already has on the market and would be thinking of releasing an even more advanced version this year. Not to replace the current ones, but to put on top a more expensive model, for those who want something more “top”.
The idea would be something like this: continue selling the usual AirPods Pro, the ones we already know, and at the same time offer more complete AirPods Pro, with new functions and, of course, a higher price. They wouldn't be for everyone, but for those who really want the latest, and don't mind paying more for simple headphones.
Among the things that are discussed is the possibility that they have some type of very small sensor or camera, designed for control headphones with gestures. For example, moving your hand or making certain gestures without touching them to increase the volume or change songs. It sounds strange, but it fits quite well with the path that Apple is following lately.
There is also talk of a new chip focused on audio, more powerful or more efficient than the current one, to improve both sound quality and noise cancellation. It would not be a change that is obvious, but it would be one of those that is noticeable with daily use.
The important thing is that, If these “premium” AirPods Pro really arrive, they would not make the current models disappear. There would still be options for different budgets, and you would choose according to what you want to spend and how demanding you are with the sound, so you don't have to worry if you are hesitating to get some, since they will not eliminate the current ones, and their price, on alternative websites like Amazon, may even go down.
There are still no clear dates or confirmed prices, but the general idea is that they could appear before the end of the year (maybe in September, along with the new iPhones). If in the end they become a reality, Apple would have AirPods designed not only for listening to music, but also to be part of an increasingly futuristic ecosystem, and even designed to integrate with the Vision Pro, thanks to those sensors and gestures that we could do with them.
In short: if the AirPods Pro 3 already seem expensive to you, these are not going to be for you. But if you like having the most advanced that Apple offers in audio, there may be something new this year that catches your attention. We will be attentive to any new rumors, and we will tell you about it.
