Apple's AirPods Pro 3 will not launch until 2026, according to multiple analysts who began reporting the delay in mid-June. The delay comes as Apple faces increased competition in the premium earbud market from lower-cost alternatives. Meanwhile, Valve released a native Apple Silicon version of Steam for Mac in mid-June, marking a significant step forward for gaming on Apple's custom processors. Rumors suggest the delayed AirPods Pro 3 will incorporate new features borrowed from Beats to maintain Apple's competitive position.
