Quote:Apple could launch the third-generation AirPods as soon as this year, according to a new report, with a reliable analyst also adding that two different models could be introduced.
 
First of all, Digitimes indicates that the AirPods 3 could see daylight in late 2019 with noise cancellation. The device would be manufactured by Inventec and Luxshare Precision, just like the second-generation model.
 
While no specifics are provided, the late 2019 launch date could mean that Apple might show the third-generation AirPods at the new iPhone unveiling in September, while sales could kick off later this year.

Top-rated Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo also says that new AirPods are on their way, but this time, we don’t get just a single model, but two of them.
Kuo says Apple could unveil two new iterations of the earphones, one with the existing AirPods design, and another one that would feature a completely new form factor and be sold at a higher price.
