Apple Preparing AirPods Pro 3 for Launch

A new audio device with a unique Bluetooth identifier has been added to Apple's product codebase. It is likely the third-generation AirPods Pro, given its ID number 8239, which appeared in the company's audio device section.

Several factors suggest this is indeed AirPods Pro 3:

• Next expected launch: AirPods Pro 3 are considered the next major update in Apple's audio lineup, expected to launch in the coming months. Other developments, like a HomePod with a screen, are planned for later in the year.
• Similar audio device codes: All Apple and Beats headphones share similar code patterns. For example, AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C has code 0x2024 (8228), creating a logical sequence that hints at a continuation of the lineup.

Expected improvements in AirPods Pro 3 include enhanced active noise cancellation, improved sound quality, an updated design, and the addition of heart rate tracking, expanding the device's functionality.
