The design of Apple‘s upcoming AirPods 3 may have been revealed via an accidental leak from the tech giant itself, 9to5Mac reports.
An upcoming beta version of iOS 13.2 seems to reveal what the new AirPods with noise cancellation will look like. The icon, below, found in an Accessibility section of the Settings app depicts the new AirPods with in-ear cushioning.
Other references in the software suggest the new AirPods will feature multiple listening modes, which is speculated to include noise canceling or “focus mode.” The new AirPods are currently referred to by the model code B298.
According to the leaked illustration, the new AirPods look very much like images shared on SlashLeaks, which was rumored to be an AirPods 3 prototype. Check out the image below.
It’s possible the new AirPods will be announced later this month at the next Apple event.
