Apple isn't done with its hardware launches just yet. After launching iPhone 11 series, Apple is now gearing up for third-generation AirPods. Dubbed as AirPods 3, the new earbuds are expected to launch later this month. Though there are reports that Apple may delay the launch of the earbuds until early 2020 in case the product isn't ready for commercial market.

Earlier this week, unofficial Apple AirPods 3 renders hit the web revealing some important details of the device. In a first, Apple may introduce a black version of AirPods 3. The leaked renders hint at new stem design which appears to be much smaller than the current gen AirPods. The head also looks much bigger in size.
