A new Bluetooth ID has surfaced in a database connected to device syncing, and it potentially points to the upcoming AirPods Pro 3, which are anticipated to be released this fall. Apple typically exercises caution to prevent accidental leaks; however, it is not entirely free from errors.
In 2025, a couple of notable missteps occurred, one of which directly referenced the AirPods Pro 3, while another mentioned the AirPods Pro 2 or later models. The latest information was uncovered by MacRumors within an undisclosed codebase.
This codebase, which is regularly updated, contains a compilation of Bluetooth IDs associated with accessories such as AirPods and Beats headphones. The recent update introduced an additional identifier that has caught attention.
The Bluetooth ID 8239 does not correspond to any existing Apple product, leading many to believe it may be associated with the unannounced AirPods Pro 3. For context, the Bluetooth ID for AirPods Pro 2 is 0x2024 (or 8228).
These incremental leaks seem to corroborate the idea that the AirPods Pro 3 are on the horizon. Current rumors suggest a launch is expected in late 2025.
However, there has also been speculation from a less credible source mentioning a possible release in 2026. As the expected launch date approaches, interest in the new model continues to build, along with anticipation for the features it may offer.
