The excitement is palpable among tech enthusiasts as Apple gears up for the launch of the AirPods Pro 3 later this year, with a probable arrival alongside the iPhone 17 line in September. Last year’s AirPods Pro 2 took the market by storm, but now, all eyes are on what the latest iteration will bring. Here are three highly anticipated features that are set to redefine your audio experience.

1. State-of-the-Art H3 Chip

Renowned industry analyst Mark Gurman from Bloomberg has revealed that the AirPods Pro 3 will be equipped with an all-new H3 chip. Historically, Apple's chip updates have yielded significant improvements, especially for the AirPods series. The transition from the H1 chip (which ruled for three years) to the H2 demonstrated a transformation in sound quality and noise cancellation capabilities, boasting features like Adaptive Transparency to dodge environmental distractions.

As we await the H3 chip, sky-high expectations are in place for upgraded audio experiences, including clearer sound across frequencies and potentially enhanced battery life. Will it top the H2 chip's capabilities? Many are betting on it!

2. Sleek Design Revamp

While details remain scarce about the design changes, Gurman has teased that the AirPods Pro 3 will sport a fresh look. Though significant changes are not expected due to the previous designs being widely embraced, we could see adjustments in the size of the stems or an evolution in ear fit designed for maximum comfort, potentially catering to a variety of ear shapes.

3. Enhanced Active Noise Cancellation (ANC)
