AirPods Pro 3 feature a second-generation Ultra Wideband chip in the charging case, extending Precision Finding range 1.5 times farther than AirPods Pro 2's U1 chip. The upgrade works from 150-200 feet with an iPhone 15 or newer, providing step-by-step guidance to locate AirPods even across a house. They cost $199 for a limited time.

AirPods Pro 3 feature a second-generation Ultra Wideband chip in the charging case, upgrading from the U1 chip in AirPods Pro 2. This enables Precision Finding in the Find My app to work from 1.5x greater distances.

Precision Finding provides step-by-step guidance to the AirPods' location. The U1 chip supports it from around 35-50 feet, but tests show the second-gen UWB chip works from 150-200 feet in real-world use, outperforming Apple's estimates.

The improved range requires an iPhone 15 or newer, which also has the upgraded UWB chip. In one instance, the feature located AirPods Pro 3 stuffed in a backpack on the opposite side of a house.

The Circuitry is a passion project I've always wanted to build, and I love the work behind it.

Running it costs real money. APIs, hosting, time. To keep improving the site and growing this into something useful for everyone, those costs have to be covered.

Any contribution is appreciated. If not, no pressure. Thanks for reading.
