Apple will be launching the third generation of AirPods Pro. Recent software updates have confirmed that the third generation is on the way. Apple has not issued an official confirmation, but all signs point toward a launch.
Apple Getting Ready to Launch AirPods Pro 3
One of the hints was a change of wording. In the most recent iOS update, “AirPods Pro 2nd Generation” were changed to “AirPods Pro 2 or later.” The subtle difference implies that Apple is reserving room for the next model in the series.
The AirPods Pro line was introduced in 2019. The second generation arrived in 2022. Apple introduced a USB-C model of the AirPods Pro 2 in 2023. Now, consumers are waiting to find out what will be different with the AirPods Pro 3.
If Apple sticks to its usual timing, AirPods Pro 3 could launch in autumn 2025. September and October are the likely months. Apple usually releases most of its AirPods lineup around this time. Next-generation AirPods are less likely to appear at WWDC 2025 as the event is more software-centric.
There are no official announcements of the new features. However, insiders expect a variety of upgrades. The newest AirPods Pro 3 may be set with Apple’s newest H3 chip. The chip will hopefully improve performance and sound quality. It may also improve active noise cancellation and battery life.

There is also the possibility of health-monitoring capabilities. Apple can add new sensors that would be able to measure heart rate and body temperature. If they do, the AirPods Pro 3 will be more useful for fitness and health-oriented users.
These features will make the AirPods Pro 3 a much better upgrade. They could be something more than just earbuds — maybe evolving into a daily health tool.
As we wait for the actual launch, the rumors are already creating a buzz. Apple fans can’t wait to learn what’s in store for them.
