On March 23, Apple is expected to hold an event dedicated to the presentation of a number of new products, including the expected AirTags trackers, updated iPad and iPad Pro tablets, as well as new wireless AirPods headphones.

In anticipation of the event, new renders have surfaced on the web showing the design of the next generation AirPods wireless earbuds. According to Gizmochina, which posted these images, they are based on data provided by Apple vendor sources. According to the renders, the new model has a shorter stem and replaceable ear tips like the AirPods Pro. The fact that the new version of AirPods will be made in the spirit of the AirPods Pro model was announced last month. However, which is also possible, the images reflect only some design features and in the final form AirPods 3 will look a little different.

The publication says that the new product can support active noise cancellation (ANC). In this case, according to Gizmochina, the next generation AirPods Pro should have some more additional features that would justify the presence of the Pro prefix and a higher price in the name.

Apple released the first AirPods in December 2016. The second-generation AirPods launched in 2019 with wireless charging and Hey Siri support, although the design remains unchanged. Later that year, Apple added the AirPods Pro to its active noise-canceling headphone family.
