Apple just confirmed that it will be hosting its 'Wonderlust' event on September 12 to announce the new iPhone 15 lineup and Apple Watch Series 9. However, these are not the only devices that Apple has in store for users. It is now being reported that Apple will launch a new version of AirPods with a USB-C charging case. It seems that the company is being quick to switch its products to the USB-C port.
Apple to launch new AirPods at Wonderlust event on September 12 with a USB-C charging case
Apple will launch the iPhone 15 lineup with a plethora of improvements over the iPhone 15 series. One of the major additions that we are all looking forward to is the new USB-C port. It was recently covered that the new port on the iPhone 15 models will feature Thunderbolt capabilities with faster data transmission and charging speeds. While the new USB-C port is more than a welcome addition to the iPhone, the company is planning to port it to the AirPods lineup as well.
The news was reported by Mark Gurman from Bloomberg, highlighting how Apple could offer the AirPods with a USB-C charging case similar to the upcoming iPhone 15 lineup. What this means is that the users will only require a single cable to charge their iPhone and the AirPods. Apple appears to be heavily invested in the idea of switching to the USB-C port. The company has already transitioned to USB-C on the iPad and MacBook models and the only products left in the lineup are the iPhone and the AirPods.
We have reported numerous times in the past how engineers work to mod an iPhone and AirPods with a USB-C. Now, Apple seems to be killing Lightning on all of its devices, However, it remains to be seen if the new charging port on the AirPods case would house additional features for the accessory, We have previously mentioned that USB-C on the iPhone will offer faster charging speeds and data transmission.
Take note that Gurman has not shared details on the model of the AirPods which will be coming with a USB-C port. While the company could start with one model, it would have to transition the entire lineup to match the iPhone 15's port. It makes sense for Apple to offer USB-C on its accessories as it would create a streamlined approach to the new standard. Users have requested for a long time to equip the iPhone with a USB-C port, so they can use the same cable to charge multiple devices.
Several other Mac accessories still need to be switched to a USB-C port. However, we are still glad that the new port is finally making its way to its main products. As mentioned earlier, Apple will host its iPhone 15 'Wonderlust' event on September 12. We will be covering the event in extensive detail, so be sure to stick around.
