Apple is preparing to unveil several new products at its upcoming 2025 event, and among them, the AirPods Pro 3 are expected to make an appearance. The current AirPods Pro 2 were launched in 2022, and after nearly three years, users may finally see their successors. With iPhone 17 models and the Apple Watch Series 11 likely headlining the event, the AirPods Pro 3 could share the stage.

Release timeline

Reports suggest that Apple is planning to announce the AirPods Pro 3 during the September event. If past launches are any indication, the earbuds may hit stores either later in the same month or within a few weeks after the unveiling. This would align their release with the new iPhone 17 lineup, making them available ahead of the holiday season.

Expected features

Rumors point towards incremental but notable upgrades in the AirPods Pro 3. One of the most talked-about additions is the inclusion of a heart rate monitoring sensor, similar to what was seen in some fitness-focused earbuds. If implemented effectively, this could make the Pro line more attractive to health-conscious users who want lightweight wearables with wellness features.

Design-wise, the AirPods Pro 3 are expected to retain the familiar compact look while introducing minor refinements. Leaks hint at a redesigned charging case with a touch-sensitive surface for pairing, instead of the traditional button. Improved touch controls on the earbuds themselves are also rumored, potentially offering smoother interaction for music playback and calls.

While Apple is expanding its AirPods lineup with affordable options like the AirPods 4, the Pro series continues to target users who want premium audio and advanced features. The addition of health monitoring capabilities could help distinguish the AirPods Pro 3 further, especially as competition in the true wireless earbud market intensifies.

AirPods Max 2 update

For those hoping for new over-ear headphones, reports indicate that the AirPods Max 2 will not be announced at this event. Instead, Apple is expected to continue focusing on the Pro earbuds.

The AirPods Pro 3, with their rumoured health tracking feature and upgraded design, are shaping up to be one of the most anticipated launches of Apple’s 2025 lineup.
