Apple has hosted its big event for 2021. During the Apple Event, there were showcases for a new tablet, phones, watch, and more. But was there an AirPods 3 release date announcement? Here’s the need-to-know info on the new AirPods for 2021.
What is the AirPods 3 release date?
The AirPods 3 release date was not confirmed during the Apple Event 2021.
Despite rumors and reported leaks pointing to a new AirPods product to be revealed during the September showcase, no there was no big announcement. For now, the AirPods 3 release date remains unknown, with the product expected to launch in 2022 instead.
While rumors had pointed to new AirPods with a slimmer stem that is similar to the AirPods Pro, as well as the potential for noise-canceling features and new tip materials, these have been proven inaccurate, at least for the time being.
Why are there no new AirPods for 2021?
It’s possible that a new AirPods 3 announcement had been planned for the event, as plans can suddenly change. However, it’s unlikely that Apple will ever admit this, instead preferring to delay the product until it is ready for launch.
With the September 2021 reveal date has now passed by, it’s unlikely that the new AirPods will be launched before the holiday season. It’s more likely that Apple will save the AirPods upgrade for next year.
With AirPods still selling extremely well, an upgraded version isn’t exactly needed. Apple is still poised to remain on top of the Bluetooth earphone game for the foreseeable future.
