According to an email sent by Best Buy, the AirPods Pro 3 may go on sale today, September 9. The leak was shared on Reddit by a user who is a member of ‘My Best Buy’ and received a $20 reward deal when purchasing Apple’s new earbuds.
If Apple really starts selling the AirPods 3 right after the end of its “Awe Dropping” event, it would be a bit of a surprise. Back in 2022, Apple released the AirPods Pro 2 in a manner similar to the iPhone. Instead of putting them on sale immediately, the company started a pre-order later in the week of their announcement.
Apparently, Apple has changed the release strategy for all of its audio products. When the company announced the AirPods 4 and the new AirPods Max, it made them available for pre-order right away. The shipping didn’t start right away, and buyers had to wait until the following week to get their headphones or earbuds.
The AirPods Pro 3 are tipped to look more or less the same as the Pro 2, but they’ll have a few nifty new features. Among them may be a heart rate monitor and a temperature sensor, which are expected to be available right away. A new live translation feature is also rumored, but it might be activated at a later time.
My AirPods Pro 2 are among my favorite gadgets, but they’ve aged noticeably, so I am really excited for an upgrade. Even if Apple were to stick to audio and noise cancellation improvements, I’d be happy, but adding a few extra features would make for an even better upgrade.
