According to rumors circulating Chinese social media portal Weibo, Apple’s AirPods 3 and Apple Pencil 3 are nearing their launch. With Apple’s Spring Loaded event scheduled for April 20, we could realistically see the new Apple Pencil debut alongside the 12.9-inch iPad Pro with mini-LED display.

The AirPods 3 on the other hand are not as certain to make an appearance at the event but managed to leak in a new hands-on shot. The design of the buds looks similar to the current AirPods Pro though you don’t get the silicone tips. The case is nearly identical to the AirPods Pro with a flatter profile compared to the outgoing AirPods 2.
