[Expired]AirPods Pro 3 Enhanced Edition Unveiled: Apple Integrates AI Vision into Earbuds
According to insider @Kosutami_Ito, Apple may break the three-year update cycle for its AirPods series by launching a performance-enhanced new model in 2026.
The core highlight of this new product is the introduction of an infrared camera system. This hardware isn't intended for everyday photography, but rather to provide sensing capabilities for AI Visual Intelligence, further enhancing Apple's AI ecosystem.
| AirPods Pro 3 Enhanced Version Predicted Specifications |
| 🔹 Core Hardware: New infrared camera module (similar to Face ID technology) |
| 🔹 AI Features: Environmental awareness, scene-enhanced audio, spatial computing assistance |
| 🔹 Estimated Price: Approximately $249 (maintaining the current price level) |
Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has pointed out that this infrared component is mainly used for environmental awareness rather than taking photos, effectively avoiding privacy risks. By sensing the surrounding environment, the earbuds can provide a more immersive audio experience and serve as an important auxiliary device for Vision Pro.
The specific release date for the new AirPods Pro is still awaiting official confirmation. If the estimated price remains at $249, would you choose to upgrade for this AI visual technology?

: P2 feels better than P3. P2比p3 感觉好
: The sound quality is more pleasant to listen to, but the noise cancellation is indeed not as good as the 3. 音质更耐听，但是降噪的确不如3
: Features that most people don't use; better to improve the battery life instead. 大多数人都用不到的功能 不如把续航提上去
: AirPods Pro are so durable, I'm still using the first generation, and they're still working perfectly fine. AirPods pro太耐用， 我还第一代呢， 现在都还嘎嘎好用
: The battery life of the box is a bit weak now, but everything else is fine. The quality of Apple's main products is really good, which makes me not want to replace them even after four or five years. 就是盒子电量有点不行了 其他都ok。水果主力产品质量确实好，导致四五年都不想换
