Apple's flagship noise-canceling earbuds are due for an upgrade. Rumors suggest they'll arrive later this year. Here's everything I know about them.

One rumor also suggests that the controls on the AirPods Pro 3 might change. Instead of capacitive controls, they might be operable when you’re wearing gloves. They might be moving to more conventional swipes and taps, as opposed to the squeezing needed on the older models.

Although Apple’s AirPods Pro 2 have been on the market for over two years, they continue to lead in the wireless earbud space. However, with the AirPods Pro 3 expected to launch in 2025, those considering purchasing Apple’s premium earbuds might be questioning whether it’s worth waiting for the next generation.
