The AirPods Pro 3 are the best earbuds that Apple has released to date, but Apple is now working on a new (and more expensive) version.
More expensive version of AirPods Pro 3 coming
Are you looking for AirPods with noise cancellation? Then the AirPods Pro 3 are currently the best earphones available. But that may change in a while. According to rumors, Apple is working on a new version of the AirPods Pro 3.

According to Bloomberg, the new AirPods Pro 3 will have infrared cameras. These are then used for Apple Intelligence functions. According to rumors, this is mainly some kind of Visual Intelligence function. This allows you to get more information about the subject that the camera picks up. For example, it is possible to scan the information from a flyer and automatically put it in your agenda.
If this feature also comes to the AirPods, you could also ask Siri about your surroundings while exercising (outdoors). You don’t even have to take the iPhone out of your pocket.
Another Apple expert adds something interesting about the future AirPods. According to Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple plans to also use the cameras to recognize hand gestures. This way you can wave your hand to pause your music.

New features also mean that the new version of the AirPods Pro 3 will be a bit more expensive. The exact prices are not yet known. But you should probably think of a price between 279 euros and 299 euros.
This is when the new AirPods Pro 3 will arrive
You shouldn’t expect the new AirPods Pro 3 this year. According to rumors, Apple plans to release this variant of the AirPods Pro 3 sometime in the fall of 2026.
