Apple is expected to release the third version of AirPods in the third quarter of this year. Rumors and reports suggest that the new AirPods feature will feature an updated design more in line with the AirPods Pro, but without “Pro” features like active noise cancellation.
Despite the fact that Apple has not yet officially announced the AirPods 3, counterfeit products of the unreleased headphones have already hit the market. TikTok videos shared on Twitter show fake AirPods, which are precisely in line with previously leaked images claiming to be real.
Apple products are often counterfeited and sold online in unauthorized Apple markets, so much so that Apple has a team whose sole goal is to crack down on counterfeit products and prevent them from being sold. Not only do Apple’s fake products pose a challenge for the tech giant, they also pose a danger to customers. Buying fake products not only means you are missing out on the latest technology, but they can also present safety hazards and may even be illegal in some countries.
