Apple rumored to be already working on the next version of the AirPods Pro

In his latest Power On newsletter, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman Apple just released the AirPods Pro last month, but the tech giant is already working on the next version of the earbuds, 

Here’s how Apple describes the US$249 AirPods Pro 3: AirPods Pro 3 deliver unbelievable sound quality and the world’s best in-ear Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) — removing up to 4x more noise than the original AirPods Pro. Live Translation also comes to AirPods, making face-to-face conversations easier by helping users connect even if they don’t speak the same language. The updated design helps AirPods Pro 3 fit even better and provides greater in-ear stability during activities like running, HIIT, yoga, and more. For the first time, users can utilize AirPods Pro 3 to measure heart rate during workouts and track over 50 workout types with the new experience in the Fitness app on iPhone.

Gurman didn’t offer a take on what the next gen of the AirPods Pro would be dubbed, although AirPods Pro 4 would make sense IF such an update has substantial improvements. 

Gurman also said Apple is developer two tiers of the AirPods 5. He adds that the company is working on the next generation of its H3 chip for wireless audio. It would reportedly offer  improved sound quality and lower latency.
