Last-minute rumors suggest you could be disappointed Date: Tue, 09 Sep 2025 11:30:51 +0000 Description: The AirPods Pro 3 headphones may not get significant audio improvements at Apples Awe Dropping event here's what to expect. FULL STORY ======================================================================Apples AirPods Pro 3 update could arrive later today But a prominent leaker says not to expect major audio changes Instead, Apple might focus on health and design features While much of the focus of Apples Awe Dropping event today will naturally be on the iPhone 17 range, were expecting a lot more products to make an appearance, including a set of newly-updated AirPods Pro 3 headphones. But if youre looking forward to a bumper upgrade in this department, you might want to rein in your expectations. Thats because prominent journalist Mark Gurman has claimed that Apples AirPods Pro 3 will miss out on major tweaks to two of its most important aspects: audio and active noise cancelation (ANC). That might come as a disappointment if you were hoping for improvements in these areas, as enhanced audio output is always a welcome addition. Instead, it looks like youll have to keep waiting for audio changes for a while longer. According to recent rumors, the AirPods Pro 4 are expected to be the "more significant" update , but that doesn't mean today's announcement won't bring any good news... Focusing on other features (Image credit: Future / Lance Ulanoff) Fortunately, this news isn't quite as significant as it might seem. For one thing, Apples AirPods Pro headphones already come with superb audio and ANC, with our AirPods Pro 2 review noting that they offered phenomenal sound quality and genuinely amazing ANC. Even if the AirPods Pro 3 dont expand on these aspects at all, youll still be in for a treat albeit one not quite as sweet as if a new H3 chip or ANC enhancements made the cut. Still, its not like the AirPods Pro 3 will be carbon copies of their predecessors theyre expected to come with a range of new features and extras. That includes heart rate tracking , which will use LED sensors to measure your blood flow, with the possibility that this info can be synced to popular health and fitness apps. We could also see a new design , according to the rumors. The case could get a fresh look, too, with a slimmer appearance thats more akin to the AirPods 4 case. While this is just speculation for now, well find out for sure later today, when Apple kicks off its Awe Dropping event . Aside from the AirPods Pro 3, were also expecting to see the iPhone 17 lineup, new Apple Watches , and more. Well have all the latest news as its announced.
