The AirPods 3 feature a new skin-detection sensor for improved in-ear detection. However, the conversation amplifier is not included.
Apple finally introduced the third generation of AirPods on Monday evening, which feature an updated design, improved sound quality and an additional hour of battery life compared to the second generation AirPods. In addition, the popular earbuds also feature Spatial Audio. Now reported TrendForce, citing industry insiders, said the new skin detection sensor could allow the AirPods 3 to detect the moisture level of the wearer's skin. What they don't have is active noise cancellation. That remains reserved for the AirPods Pro.

However, anyone hoping for the conversation booster will be disappointed. As a reminder: Conversation Boost is a feature in iOS 15 that uses the beamforming microphones in the AirPods Pro to increase the volume of conversations, which is ideal for people with mild to moderate hearing problems. However, the AirPods 3 do not seem to have this feature. If you don't have AirPods yet and want the feature, you will probably have to get the AirPods Pro. Be that as it may. If you still prefer the third generation of the earbuds or want to have them in addition, you can now order them from Apple and pre-order on Amazon. Delivery will start on October 26th. (Image: Apple)
