Analyst: AirPods 3 will debut at Monday’s ‘Unleashed’ event

Apple has rolled out new firmware (version 6A321) for the third-generation AirPods. 

In a note to clients — as noted by MacRumors — Webush analyst Daniel Ives speculates that AirPods 3 will indeed be introduced at Apple’s “Unleashed” event on Monday. 

The “AirPods 3” are expected to look pretty much the same as the current version, but with a shortened stem, adjusted earbud body and an AirPods Pro-style charging case. No word on when an update to the AirPods Pro might arrive, though September/October is possible. The AirPods Pro 2 will reportedly have a round design and eliminate the short stem that currently sticks out from the bottom.
