Leaked Prices for Air 3S… What do you think?

Just saw this leak about the Air 3S pricing. If it’s true, the price is going to be around 1159€… that’s about $1300 US. Seems like a refresh of the current Air 3 model with some upgrades like a bigger sensor and better obstacle avoidance. What are your thoughts? Are you planning to get one?

I keep telling myself I don’t need this… I don’t need this…

What’s the S stand for?

It means this version is a refresh of the current Air 3, similar to the iPhone 6 and 6s. The main updates are rumored to include a 1-inch sensor and better sensors for obstacle avoidance.

Thanks for the clear answer.

Yeah, similar to how the Air 2S got a bigger sensor compared to the Air 2. I’m probably sticking with my Air 2S unless this has something really special like a zoom lens or much better flight time.

When is it supposed to come out?

Rumors are pointing to early November, but that’s just speculation right now.

Is the price going to be around $1300 US?

Yeah, if the prices are similar between the US and EU. 1159€ is about $1287.

Does anyone know if it uses the same batteries as the Air 3?

It’s likely since the design looks similar.

Maybe, maybe not. The FCC registration shows a 4276mAh battery for the 3S, which is slightly bigger than the 4241mAh in the Air 3.

Thanks. But they might still work with each other if they’re the same size.

Yeah, the difference is small so it’s possible they could be compatible.

I’m definitely buying this when it comes out.

I’m really happy with my Air 3… but I think people with the Air 2 or 2S won’t regret upgrading to the 3S.

Been waiting for this. My Air 2 took a dive in salt water a while ago, so I’ve been holding out to see what the 3S will be like.
