It’s been some time since reports about the launch of AirPods 3 true wireless earphones started surfacing online. After several Apple events announcing new products, the AirPods 3 still remains unannounced.

In the latest development, it is claimed that the Apple AirPods 3 have already entered production and the suppliers have also started shipping the product to Apple. It adds that the initial shipments were low.

The low initial shipments of the third-generation of Apple AirPods TWS earbuds explain why the product wasn’t made official at the iPhone 13 series launch event. Given that Apple has now enough shipments, the company is now expected to officially launch the AirPods 3 earphones by the end of this year.

In that case, we expect the next-generation AirPods to get announced at the launch event next month. While Apple has not yet confirmed this, but the technology giant is speculated to host a new launch event next month which will be focusing on new Mac devices powered by the M1X chipset. We expect the second-generation of AirPods Pro to also get launched along with the third-generation of AirPods.

An image of the upcoming AirPods 3 has already leaked online, revealing the earphones’ design. The earbuds will come with a short stem and a sensor, as well as a microphone on the front. The image showcases the earbuds in the standard White color shade.

It is also expected to come powered by a new chipset and is said to support Apple Music Lossless Audio. Additionally, the earbuds are expected to come with good battery life performance compared to the AirPods 2.
