Apparently, mass production of the third-generation wireless earbuds will start from the third quarter of this year, meaning that you will likely be able to purchase them much later. > According to a note from Ming-Chi Kuo that was spotted by MacRumors, mass production of the AirPods 3 will start in the second half. Previously, the TF International Securities analyst mentioned back in November 2020 that the AirPods 3 launch would happen in the first half of 2021. We are not sure what prompted this prediction change, but we are unsure about the official announcement now.
