Rumors about the third generation of AirPods are nothing new – but now there is the first official confirmation thanks to the iOS 13.2 beta.
Will the AirPods 3 have noise cancellation or not? Probably yes - at least that's what the current iOS 13.2 beta suggests. If new products are found in the code of a beta, then it's only a matter of time before they appear. And when will the AirPods 3 be released? Yesterday, some would have guessed next year - now even this month is conceivable - after all, we are expecting another Apple keynote. But now back to the iOS 13.2 code. A previously unknown icon was discovered in the new beta. This shows a pair of AirPods, which could possibly even come with a rubber attachment. According to the code, the name for the new AirPods generation is "B298". But that's not all - the discovery confirms speculation that the new AirPods could finally have noise cancellation - a feature that many fans have been missing so far.
Pictures are said to show prototype of the AirPods 3
The new discovery also shows that the new AirPods will have several listening modes - one of which is called "Focus Mode". A few images that were uploaded to Slashleaks by the website 52audio.com just a few weeks ago show what the new AirPods 3 might look like in real life.
At the time, nobody took the “leak” seriously – but today, compared to the beta icon, the images are taken much more seriously – it is said to be a prototype of the AirPods 3.
