Overview

• An extra Bluetooth identifier, 8239, has appeared in Apple’s device syncing code, pointing to an unreleased audio product that does not match any existing AirPods or Beats model.
• Industry observers link the unidentified ID to the anticipated AirPods Pro3, marking the first code-based sign of Apple’s next Pro earbuds.
• Leaked references indicate the Pro3 could adopt Apple’s upcoming H3 audio chip and deliver strengthened active noise cancellation.
