AirPods Pro 3 said to get touch-friendly charging case

Apple’s AirPods Pro 3 are set to debut- likely on September 9th – introducing a refined design and innovative features that elevate the wireless earbud experience. The upcoming earbuds promise a new touch-enabled charging case and enhanced audio performance, maintaining Apple’s signature minimalist aesthetic.

One of the key updates concerns the charging case, which, according to a well-known accessory manufacturer, was initially reported to have a slight reduction in size compared to the current model. However, after consulting with case producers, I obtained photos and dimensions of the cases, which surprisingly appear almost identical to those of previous models. Despite the initial claim, it seems there will be no significant changes in the dimensions of the AirPods Pro 3 charging case, maintaining a familiar form factor that ensures compatibility with existing accessories and user expectations for portability.
What has been confirmed is that the traditional pairing button will be eliminated, reducing unsightly mechanical components prone to wear and simplifying the overall design. In its place, new touch controls will be introduced on the front of the case, similar to those on the AirPods 4. Users will be able to perform intuitive gestures, such as tapping to quickly pair the earbuds with an iPhone or other iOS device or to manage basic functions like music playback and volume control.

MacDailyNews Take: The AirPods Pro 3 will also retain support for the lanyard, Bu reports, ensuring compatibility with existing accessories while also accommodating a new Apple lanyard. We expect to see AirPods Pro 3 to debut alongside Apple’s new iPhone at its “Awe Dropping” special media event on September 9th.
