Apple’s Next‑Gen AirPods: The Big Buzz
Apple enthusiasts, pets and even pigeons are already trembling with excitement—> Ming Chi Kuo, a seasoned analyst, just dropped a bombshell. He claims that the sleek California Streaming event will unveil the brand‑new 3rd‑generation AirPods.
What’s in the Buzz?
According to Kuo, the 3rd‑gen will look a lot like the AirPods Pro, minus the fancy extra features. Think of it as a Pro‑style jacket for your ears— streamlined, but no fancy gadgets inside.
Two Pricing Scenarios
- Premium Play: Apple keeps the price high, just to match the way the Pro line is priced.
- Value Drop: The older AirPods downgrade in price, while the new 3rd‑gen comes out at a sweet $199.
Windows for the Old‑School
Even if Apple flips the script, the 2nd‑gen AirPods are still expected to stay in the market for those who appreciate the classic look. So if you’re nostalgic for the original design, don’t worry—you’ll still have your beloved buds.

What’s New with the Upcoming AirPods?
It’s rumored that the next AirPods will ditch the sleeker Pro design and bump in a set of silicone ear tips—think softer, more comfortable fit.
If Apple goes ahead, they’ll debut these earbuds during the California Streaming event on September 14, alongside the Apple Watch Series 7 and iPhone 13.
Key Takeaways
“They’re probably just adding a few extra ear‑tips to the existing shape,” a source mused.“Y’all will love it once it hits the earbuds shop,” replied another with a wink.
Stay tuned for an official announcement. Apple fans might get ready to trade in their old buds for the next generation that fits just right!
