New AirPods 3 renders depict likely final design

The leak: New renders for Apple’s upcoming AirPods 3 have been shared by Gizmochina (not yet tracked).

• While not shown anywhere in the new images, Gizmochina mentions that AirPods 3 will likely ship with replaceable eartips…but it appears they could be optional?
• AirPods 3 look like a truly hybrid design between AirPods 2 and AirPods Pro
• These new AirPods could release as soon as March 23 at Apple’s first event of the year

Our take: The fact that these new renders don’t show the eartips as mandatory gives me hope. And with all these leaks popping up…I think the March event is safe bet.
