AirPods 3: everything we know so far

INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
The Apple AirPods 3 that everyone really wants remain elusive in 2019, and our ears, in desperate need of noise-canceling true wireless
earbuds, hang in wait.Admittedly, the new AirPods (2019) do have some cool new features, like the ability to charge wirelessly
Still, they aren't quite the all-out AirPods 3 reimagining we were hoping for, and they don't beat rivals like the Sony WF-1000XM3 Wireless
Apple AirPods could be right around the corner
We've heard rumors about noise-canceling and even waterproof Apple earbuds for nearly a year at this point, and now some analysts are saying
that they'll arrive by the end of the year or, at the very latest, early on in 2020.The iPhone 11 launch has come and gone with no mention

Generation) in anticipation of Apple Arcade this autumn (September - November 2019), it's possible that the company will launch the
11, iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max.We're not totally surprised, as it wouldn't make sense for Apple to release the AirPods 3 so soon
after it brought out the upgraded model.So, with everything pointing to a 2020 release, what do we actually hope to see in the AirPods 3,
and how will they improve on Apple's bestselling true wireless earbuds?Apple AirPods 3: Cut to the chaseWhat are they? The long-awaited
AirPods 3 (not to be confused with the recently updated AirPods (2019) true-wireless earbuds.)When are they out? Our best guess is early

Before we go into the features we're expecting from the AirPods 3 in 2020, let's take a look at what's new with the current
next-gen improvements seem to be largely under-the-hood.Inside the buds there's a newly-designed H1 chip which Apple has built
specifically for the headphones
It improves connectivity pairing times, the efficiency of the battery life, and allows for hands-free 'Hey Siri' functionality.New for the
AirPods 2019 is the wireless charging case for the earbuds, which means you can use Qi-compatible charging mats to power the case without
noise cancelation and a comfier fit, with silicone or rubber tips giving listeners more choice when it comes to their Apple earbuds.Apple's

filed a patent for biometric sensors, which would allow the AirPods 3 to take on fitness tracking capabilities like those seen in the Jabra
Elite Wireless
This followed another patent filed in March, which further fueled the rumors.We also heard separately that the AirPods 3 would come in black
and white, be both waterproof and offer active noise-cancellation, features that have similarly been predicted by Bloomberg
Another patent from July suggested that Apple was working on some pretty nifty tech for how the earbuds handle outside noise as well as
handle ambient noise, using a microphone to filter in noise from the outside world so that you can remain aware of your surroundings while
still hearing your music.One rumor that did prove to be accurate however was wireless charging and Bluetooth 5.0 - but instead of being an

recently, Cambridge Audio, have proven that true wireless earbuds can sound just as good as their wired, and even their over-ear
