AirPods Pro 3 could be unveiled alongside iPhone 17 lineup
The iPhone 17 launch event is just around the corner, and ahead of it, new details have emerged about the rumored AirPods Pro 3. It is expected that Apple could debut the next-generation audio wearables alongside the upcoming iPhone 17 lineup.
Renowned analyst Ming-Chi Kuo notes that the AirPods Pro 3 will launch in the second half of 2025. While Kuo didn’t explicitly mention that the new earphones would be part of the iPhone 17 launch event, it is very likely.
Apple introduced the AirPods Pro 2 alongside the iPhone 14, so it’s plausible that the Pro 3 will make its debut at the upcoming iPhone 17 event.
Kuo further reports that Apple plans to begin mass production of AirPods equipped with infrared cameras in 2026. This upgrade is expected to be more substantial than the AirPods Pro 3 and could carry a higher price tag.
Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max
Apple’s ‘Awe Dropping’ event is scheduled for tomorrow, where the company is expected to unveil the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max. The event is also likely to feature the launch of new Apple Watch models.
