All eyes are on Apple on Tuesday as the tech giant prepares to hold its next major product announcement event.
While fans might have to wait to get the next iPhone or Apple Watch, one updated item could be available right away.
A keen-eyed Reddit user discovered Best Buy is already offering a special on AirPods Pro 3 even though they have not been unveiled by Apple yet.
The existence of the offer was subsequently confirmed by Apple-centric websites, including AppleInsider and MacRumors, but there is another noteworthy detail.
It would be available starting Tuesday and next month.
What are AirPods Pro 3s?
The next edition of Apple’s higher-end AirPods is expected to be released three years after the AirPods Pro 2.
The last version brought better active noise cancellation, a new chip (H2), better sound and new ways to protect hearing health with a scientifically validated hearing test and the ability to serve as a clinical-grade hearing aid.
The next edition is expected to include a new chip and enhanced versions of those features, though the degree of improvement remains to be seen.
According to Bloomberg, a heart rate monitor will also be part of the new models as well as a revamped charging case.
Separately, as I first reported two weeks ago, I am still expecting AirPods Pro 3 to arrive tomorrow with a heart rate monitor. Other features include improved design for better fit and revamped charging case. I don’t expect major audio/ANC improvements. https://t.co/z2RD68S6J5

A new physical design is also possible.
