For several months now, we have heard that the AirPods 3 will look like the second-generation AirPods, as Apple is expected to shift to a more compact design. Previously leaked images have revealed such a design, with the AirPods 3 also looking like they would sport a smaller stem, just like the AirPods Pro. Now, alleged renders of Apple’s upcoming in-ear wireless earphones have leaked, showing what Apple might unveil on March 23.

The AirPods 3 renders were shared by GizmoChina, who claims that the images were provided by an unnamed supplier. We might have shown skepticism towards these renders if DuanRui had not shared them on his Twitter account. This tipster has shared accurate information in the past, so assuming these are the real deal, it can mean Apple might re-using the AirPods Pro’s exterior shell and re-branding them as the AirPods 3.
