AirPods Pro 3 Coming Soon With Smaller Case and Capacitive Button
Apple fans won’t have to wait much longer—AirPods Pro 3 coming soon with smaller case and capacitive button is now one of the hottest leaks making rounds online. A reliable leaker, Majin Bu, claims that Apple is refining the design of its premium earbuds just in time for their expected September reveal.
A Smaller, Sleeker Charging Case
The AirPods Pro 3 are set to debut with a slightly smaller charging case compared to the current model. While the difference won’t be dramatic, reports suggest that accessory makers are already preparing for the new size. Aside from the reduced dimensions, the overall design will remain nearly identical to the AirPods Pro 2.
Capacitive Button Replaces the Rear Pairing Button
One of the most notable changes is the removal of the traditional rear pairing button. Apple is introducing a capacitive button on the front of the case, aligning the design more closely with the upcoming AirPods 4. This not only simplifies case design for third-party accessory makers but could also open the door to additional features, such as playback controls.
What Stays the Same?
Despite these tweaks, Apple isn’t abandoning everything fans love about the AirPods Pro line. The lanyard loop will remain, ensuring users can still attach straps and accessories for extra security. Otherwise, the overall look will feel very familiar—just slimmer and smarter.
When Will Apple Announce the AirPods Pro 3?
According to Majin Bu, the launch is imminent. Apple is expected to showcase the AirPods Pro 3 at its September "Awe Dropping" event. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has also reiterated that the release is still on track for this year.
The leaks suggest Apple isn’t reinventing the AirPods Pro, but rather refining them with practical upgrades. A smaller case and capacitive button may seem like small changes, but they point to Apple’s continued focus on usability and design consistency across its AirPods lineup. With the official announcement just around the corner, fans won’t have to wait long to see if these rumors hold true.
