Apple is planning to introduce a plethora of upgrades at its Wonderlust event on September 12. While the iPhone 15 lineup will be the highlight of the event, the company will also see fit to announce its forthcoming Apple Watch Series 9 and new AirPods. It is now being reported that the AirPods Pro's charging case will be upgraded with a USB-C port but the rest of the design will stay the same.
Apple will upgrade the AirPods Pro with a USB-C port at its Wonderlust iPhone 15 event but do not expect changes in design
Apple will switch to a USB-C port with the iPhone 15 lineup and the company is planning to bring the new port to existing devices as well. For the end user, it makes sense to own devices that can be charged through a single USB-C cable. It was previously reported that Apple will bring the USB-C port to the AirPods but the model was not specified. In his latest Power On newsletter, Mark Gurman states that the new port will be coming to the 'Pro' version of the AirPods. He also stated that other than this, there will be no design variations.
With the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro models, Apple is finally introducing a new port that could feature enhanced functionalities. Gradually, the company will ditch the Lightning port on all of its existing products and replace them with USB-C. The change took place with immense pressure from the EU. Before this, we only saw modded iPhones with a USB-C port which were sold for thousands of dollars. The AirPods Pro with USB-C port will be announced alongside the iPhone 15 lineup on September 12 at Apple's Wonderlust event.
Apple announced iOS 17 back in June which included various features for the AirPods Pro. Since these features will be coming to AirPods Pro with a Lightning port, it is not clear if the forthcoming USB-C model will house any exclusive features. However, we can presume that the new port could make room for faster charging. If the new port does not come with additional features, the upcoming model would be pretty much identical to the existing version.
Take note that Apple will only replace the ports on the new AirPods charging case. What this means is that there will be no changes in the rest of the design or changes in the earbuds. However, these are mere speculations and the company could make tweaks to the design and audio quality. We will be covering the event extensively, so be sure to stick around for more details.
