At a Keynote held yesterday, October 18, Apple unveiled its news M1 chips Pro and M1 Max which come to equip the new MacBook Pro. Among the important announcements, there was especially the arrival of the third generation of AirPods. The wireless earphones evolve, whether in terms of their more tapered design with shorter rods and in terms of audio quality. On this last point, Apple is not stingy in superlatives. The sound will be deeper, with a spatialisation improved.
Similarly, the announced autonomy is now six hours, an hour more than before. Five minutes of charging is enough to restore an hour of battery life to the headphones. The small storage case gives up to thirty hours of extra battery life, according to Apple.
Compatible only from iOS 13
The listeners Also integrate four sensory sensors to ensure head tracking. It is this system that delivers adaptive sound equalization to compensate for sound losses due to variations in the position of the headphones in the ears. Apple says the built-in mics help reduce noise caused by wind during calls.
In the end, these AirPods incorporate many of the audio characteristics of AirPods Pro. The headphones are also waterproof to resist sweat. On the compatibility side, these AirPods 3 will not be able to work with the old ranges of iPhone and iPad. They do not supportiPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus and iPhone 5s. They are also abandoning the iPad mini 2 and mini 3, or even the iPod Touch 6. In reality, this lack of accounting stems from the need to have at least iOS 13 or iPadOS 13 on mobile devices. This is the imperative for the AirPods 3 to be able to use some of their features. The new Air Pods are marketed from October 26 with their wireless charger, at a price of 199 euros.
