Finally, We’ve Got a Claimed AirPods Pro 3 Design Leak Before the Next Apple Event – but I’m Not a Fan of the One Major Change
The AirPods Pro 3 will feature a slightly smaller charging case and replace physical buttons with touch-sensitive controls, aligning with AirPods 4 design to enhance user experience.
- Leakers Asher Dipprey and Majin Bu say the AirPods Pro 3 charging case will be slightly smaller and remove the physical pairing button for touch controls on the front.
- After months of few details, leaks began flowing again as Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reported updated AirPods Pro are coming this year, with Asher Dipprey and Majin Bu prompting fresh accessory-industry disclosures.
- According to accessory makers, the AirPods Pro 3 case will feature a front touch panel for pairing, playback, and volume like the AirPods 4, keep the lanyard loop, and maintain automatic setup animation triggered by double-tapping until the status light flashes white.
- Aligning the two AirPods models would ease transition for users, but accessory manufacturers must revise designs for smaller cases and touch controls, while prices may rise amid industry trends.
- Expected to debut on September 9, 2025, AirPods Pro 3 will feature an H3 chip, improved ANC, and hearing-health features, with iOS 26 code and Bluetooth ID 8239 confirming new model details.
