Apple AirPods Pro 3: Smaller design, better ANC, spatial audio, and live translation?
Apple announced the AirPods Pro 3 at its 2025 event — a notable refresh arriving three years after the 2nd-gen model. This update focuses on sound and usability improvements rather than a radical redesign.
Key features
- Smaller, refined in-ear design; looks sleeker than the previous generation.
- USB-C charging (replacing Lightning).
- Improved Active Noise Cancellation (Apple claims top-in-class ANC for in-ear buds).
- Support for Spatial Audio for more immersive sound.
- Updated internal hardware and audio drivers for better processing and efficiency.
- Live language translation has been reported by some outlets; official confirmation in Apple’s product materials is limited — expect software updates or broader availability in the ecosystem over time.
