Apple fans have been waiting for the AirPods Pro 3 for more than two years, and now exciting news has surfaced. According to multiple reports from industry insiders, Apple is preparing to launch the AirPods Pro 3 in early 2025, possibly alongside the iPhone 17 lineup.
If the leaks turn out to be accurate, we could see an official AirPods Pro 3 launch date in March or September 2025, two of Apple’s traditional product event months.
Expected Launch Timeline
Apple usually refreshes its audio products every two to three years. The AirPods Pro 2 debuted in September 2022, meaning a 2025 release perfectly fits Apple’s cycle.
Several reliable sources, including Ming-Chi Kuo and Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, have hinted that mass production will begin in Q2 2025, making a September 2025 launch highly likely.
AirPods Pro 3 Expected Features
Apple’s upcoming earbuds are rumored to include next-level noise cancellation and AI-powered sound optimization. Here’s what we might see:
- 🎧 Adaptive Audio with AI Integration
Intelligent sound adjustment based on your surroundings and preferences. - 🔋 Longer Battery Life (Up to 10 Hours per Charge)
Thanks to the new H3 chip and improved power efficiency. - 🌎 Lossless Audio over Apple Vision Pro
Designed to deliver high-fidelity sound for Vision Pro and iPhone 17. - 🔍 Enhanced Find My Support
More precise location tracking for each earbud and the charging case. - 💬 New Design and Colors
Apple might finally bring Matte Black and Midnight Blue versions.
AirPods Pro 3 Price (Expected)
While Apple hasn’t confirmed anything, industry leaks suggest that AirPods Pro 3 will launch at $299 in the U.S. (around ₹29,900 in India). The price increase is likely due to upgraded chips, sensors, and AI features.
Why AirPods Pro 3 Could Be Apple’s Biggest Audio Upgrade Yet
Apple is pushing heavily into AI and spatial computing, and the AirPods Pro 3 is expected to play a major role in that shift. Seamless integration with Apple Vision Pro, Siri intelligence, and iOS 19 features could make these earbuds far more powerful than any previous version.
AirPods Pro 3 Launch Date — Final Verdict
If Apple sticks to its annual pattern, the AirPods Pro 3 will be officially unveiled in September 2025, alongside the iPhone 17 and Apple Watch Series 11. However, an earlier March 2025 event is also a strong possibility if Apple decides to separate its audio product launches.
