If you had itchy for a new pair of AirPods Pro, you may want to cut these nails because this itching could persist for another year. According to another Apple analyst, the AirPods Pro 3 could be delayed until 2026, extending the previous rumors calendar which projected an outing this year. Rumors’ time graceful of Apple JEFF PU analystwhich corroborates the previous information of Ming-Chi Kuo analyst colleague. If the information of PU and Kuo is correct, it would be three years the Airpod Pro 2 before the release of the next generation.

In modern apple times, three years is mainly a century. During the iPad years, it’s even longer – these guys cannot spend 14 minutes without publishing another iteration. And with regard to regular human years, not applied, I think it always seems to be long to wait for another iteration of AirPods, but if we believe the rumors, the update could be worth waiting. Apple would have considered major upgrades which include the addition of a health sensor and potentially – and it is strange – Cameras.
According to a previous Bloomberg Mark Gurman reportThe infrared cameras could come for your next pair of AirPods Pro, which seems strange to the surface, but has a lot of meaning once you start to unpack certain potential use cases. On the one hand, the infrared cameras could allow new hand gestures, which is part of the headphones and partly portable – a movement that Apple is clearly interested in the rumors of a health sensor. What is even more interesting, however, are the implications of cameras for AI. According to Gurman’s report, the cameras “will feed data with AI”, which could really mean a certain number of things, but that would mean something for sure, and it is that Airpod Pro will get a kind of IA infusion. This dose of AI could be the problem.
Although we cannot say with certainty what delays the Airpods Pro from the next generation of Apple, if I had to guess, Apple Intelligence has more to do with the Holdup than you think. Wireless headphones, outside the AirPods, have been tendency in the direction of AI for a few years now. Wireless earphones for nothing, for example, were the first wireless headphones to deploy chatgpt integration, which, as I wrote at the time, tHeoretically a kind of ideal gadget to present the AI. There is a chance that Apple follows in this direction with his next pair of AirPods, which is interesting and potentially useful but problematic if we consider that Apple’s intelligence – in particular, its upgrade of SIRI – is not exactly triggered without a hitch. If Apple is really interested in instilling its AirPods Pro 3 with AI and all the thing is not going well, then …
It is difficult to say with certainty what causes the delay, but there is roughly only one thing with which Apple has had trouble lately, and it is AI. The addition of credibility to this theory is the fact that, According to BloombergAi Siri will not arrive until the spring of next year. The timing could therefore be ideal, but if the two products are attached together, then I would not hold your breath since, According to the main vice-president of Apple software engineeringCraig Federighi, Apple wants to “have [Siri] Very hand “before he started talking about dates for” obvious reasons “.
