Summary: AirPods Pro 3 are out with stronger ANC (up to 2× vs Pro 2), heart‑rate sensing, improved fit with foam‑infused tips (five sizes), and Live Translation features—followed by small early retail discounts.
Why it matters
On‑ear heart‑rate opens workout use without a strap, and better ANC plus fit helps frequent travelers. Early discounts suggest brisk channel movement just days after launch.
Key facts
- Battery: up to 8h with ANC; IP57 durability.
- Features: heart‑rate via PPG; Live Translation (Apple Intelligence).
- Market: first ~$10 retail discounts appeared within days of release.
What to watch
Language coverage and latency for translation; reliability of HR readings in HIIT; whether discounts deepen into the holiday window.
