Unsurprisingly, the AirPods 3 will be more expensive than the current generation

A few days ago, we echoed a news story stating that Apple was already working on the Airpods 3, a third generation that could arrive at the end of the year, but that would offer us as a main novelty a noise cancellation system, one of the buts that we can find in the AirPods, if we start looking for one.

Ming-Chi Kuo affirms that Apple will launch a new generation of AirPods, a model that will be more expensive and will be the main differentiating factor from the generation that is currently available on the market and that was renewed almost a couple months ago. The price increase is due to they will integrate a noise cancellation system.

In this way, Apple will continue to offer traditional AirPods for $ 159 and AirPods with wireless charging case for $ 199. One of the suppliers that makes components for AirPods claims that is increasing component shipments for the current model although they are not expected to be compatible with the third generation.

The new generation of noise-canceling AirPods it will not only offer a new design but will also have different components using SIP technology, rather than the current combination of rigid and flexible plates found in the first two generations, Kuo says.

AirPods are an increasingly important product for Apple, as well as the services and with which Apple wants to begin to reduce the iPhone-dependency that the company has had in recent years. As the months go by, it will be confirmed, or not, if Apple is really working on third-generation AirPods with noise cancellation or if the guys from Cupertino present completely different speakers that offer this functionality.
