AirPods Pro 3 are coming soon that will boast an at most slightly smaller charging case with a capacitive pairing button, claims the leaker known as Majin Bu.
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.

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.
The leaker says he heard that the charging case of the AirPods Pro 3 could be slightly smaller than that of the current model in discussions with “a well-known accessory manufacturer.” However, after checking with case makers, he saw evidence that the new case will be “almost identical.”
The leaker says the unveiling of the AirPods Pro 3 will likely take place at Apple’s September “Awe Dropping” event.
