It is no news that Apple is switching to USB-C charging with the iPhone 15, and this might include the AirPods. In a recent Power On update, Mark Gurman points out that the coming AirPods will use USB-C charging ports. While there have been rumors about this change, Gurman’s reports solidify the adoption of the USB-C port across Apple’s soon-to-launch products.
Apple fans and critics around the world are in anticipation of the brand’s coming launch event. This event which Apple calls ‘Wonderlust’ will bring a major change to most products that would make the launch stage. Playing a major part in this change is the EU, thanks to their requirement for Apple to switch to using USB-C ports on their devices.
This requirement is reported to not only affect the iPhone 15 series but also all AirPods products to launch. To some fans, this change might be a great one, but to Apple, it might just be a slap to the face. Here are the available details on the coming Apple AirPods that will use USB-C charging ports.
The iPhone 15 series and the coming Apple AirPods will all launch with USB-C ports
Aside from the iPhone 15 series, reports say that Apple will also launch AirPods during the coming launch event. This event will take place on September 12, which is just a few days away and already has fans on their feet. While the iPhone 15 series will feature USB-C charging ports, this article will focus on the AirPods that will launch in a few days.
Apple fans can expect the launch of the third-generation AirPods Pros. This pair of wireless earbuds will pack a punch in terms of their performance, but they will also feature a change. Instead of charging with a lightning port, the coming Apple AirPods might charge with a USB-C port.
This change is a result of the EU’s demand that Apple make the switch to a more conventional charging port. With this change, prospective buyers of the new Apple products will be able to charge all their devices with one cable. Since some MacBooks and iPads already use USB-C ports, this change might not be hard for fans.
After this coming launch event, other Apple products to become available next year will come with USB-C ports. On Apple’s part, the company will be losing its iconic lightning port that it has always ported above USB-C. Lots of critics will look forward to how the company will announce this switch to USB-C ports during the coming launch event.
Until then, both fans and critics can stay in expectation of what Apple has in store for consumers. Aside from the iPhone 15 series and the coming Apple AirPods, the company will also launch other products. This might include a new entry to the Apple Watch Series and some software upgrades.
