AirPods 3 to enter mass production stage in Q3 2021

Apple is reportedly planning to launch its third-generation AirPods and a new report has revealed that its mass production will begin in the third quarter of 2021.

If mass production doesn't begin until the third quarter of 2021, it would mean that AirPods 3 wouldn't be shipped until later in the year, MacRumors reported.

These next-generation versions of Apple's popular wireless headphones are expected to feature a design similar to that of AirPods Pro. However, to keep costs low, they will not feature active noise cancellation and ear tips.

The third-generation AirPods will feature the same design as the current AirPods Pro with Apple's H1 chip at the core, housed in a new system in a package (SiP) enclosure.
