These Subtle AirPods Pro 3 Upgrades Would Make Them an Instant Buy for Me

The AirPods Pro 3 will feature health sensors like heart rate and temperature monitors, a new H3 chip, and improved Active Noise Cancellation according to multiple reports.

  • On September 9, 2025, Apple will showcase the AirPods Pro 3 at its 'Awe Dropping' event, debuting alongside the iPhone 17 series and marking its first refresh in years.
  • Mark Gurman, Bloomberg, reported Apple shifted focus to health monitoring over audio upgrades, following Apple-owned Beats adding a heart-rate sensor to Powerbeats Pro 2 earlier this year, with AirPods Pro 3 expected to include the feature.
  • Leaks list upgraded internals with the H3 chip, a slimmer charging case resembling the AirPods 4, and rumored temperature sensor, IR cameras, and air gestures possibly split across models.
  • Analysts caution that users should not expect major ANC or audio improvements in AirPods Pro 3, as Sony WF-1000XM5 and Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds Gen 2 surpass AirPods Pro 2, while Apple's health-first approach may differentiate them in the wearables market.
  • Ming‑Chi Kuo predicts a next year AirPods model with an extra sensor, while some leaks suggest a no-camera version ships this year and a camera-equipped one next year, plus upgraded U2 tracking nearly 200 feet.
