Apple AirPods 3 probably equipped with now well-known design – One More Thing

After the arrival of the Apple AirPods 2, we got the AirPods Pro. The earphones not only came with noise cancellation, but also with a renewed design. A design that we may soon see with the AirPods 3.

At least that’s what reliable analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has brought out. Through an article on AppleInsider he shares his information.

Apple AirPods 3 have a well-known design

In the AppleInsider article, Ming-Chi Kuo makes it clear that the new generation of AirPods features a new design. Although new in this case is relative, given that the design is very similar to that of the AirPods Pro. That has everything to do with the chip layout of the earplugs.

Current “regular” AirPods models use surface mount technology. Better known as SMT. The AirPods Pro use system-in-package, which is better known under the abbreviation SiP. The latter chip layout makes it possible for a manufacturer to place more components in a small area. As is the case with the AirPods Pro.

Ming-Chi Kuo says that the Apple AirPods 3 has the same chip format, so the ears will look about the same. That would mean that Apple abandons the current design.

Functionalities

The design of the AirPods 3 may therefore look different from the design of the AirPods 2. It does look a lot like the AirPods Pro, but the greatest functionality of those earplugs may not be found. At the moment, the AirPods 3 is not yet known to have noise cancellation, but we think the chance is small. It is the USP of the AirPods Pro. Apple would ignore the functionality for the cheaper AirPods 3.

Thanks to the new SiP format, more is possible with the AirPods 3. It can provide longer battery life, higher audio quality and better Siri integration.
