The launch of AirPods 3 may take place during the third quarter of 2021, according to a new preview of the report. Apparently, Taiwanese Apple supplier ASE Technology has started mass production of optical sensors that will be found in wireless headsets.
Latest AirPods 3 launch report in line with previous report by renowned analyst Ming-Chi Kuo
MacRumors saw a paid access report published by DigiTimes, which mentions the launch of AirPods 3 taking place in the second half of this year. Previously, Ming-Chi Kuo predicted that the mass production of Apple’s wireless headphones will start from the third quarter of this year. There are now two reports that talk about that specific launch that will happen at a much later time. This revelation can mean one of two things.
Or Apple will not officially launch AirPods 3 during its supposed April event. The second scenario may be for Apple to launch its third generation AirPods, but to put them up for sale later. At this stage, we have no concrete information about the product launch, but when we do, we will update our readers accordingly. In case you didn’t know, the third quarter of this year starts in July and ends in September.
Apple was previously reported to hold an event in September, so looking at our options, the launch of AirPods 3 could happen alongside the launch of iPhone 13. In terms of design, AirPods 3 will be very different from second generation AirPods and it could have an aesthetic similar to that of the AirPods Pro. Images that leaked previously revealed that the AirPods 3 will have a smaller stem, moving away from an exterior that received a lot of criticism, but ended up being a beloved product.
Do you think Apple will launch the AirPods 3 in April and put them up for sale later, or do you think the next wireless headphones will be released later? Tell us in the comments.
