Apple is preparing to host its highly anticipated iPhone 15 event next week where it will also announce the new Apple Watch Series 9 and software updates. It was previously covered that USB-C might be Apple's big stroke at the Wonderlust event as it aims to bring the standard to the iPhone. It is now being reported that USB-C might also be coming to the AirPods Pro. According to the latest, Apple will be bringing the new USB-C port to the AirPods and AirPods Max lineup as soon as next year.
After AirPods Pro, Apple will bring the USB-C Port to the AirPods and AirPods Max next year
The news was shared by industry analyst Mark Gurman, suggesting that the USB-C is making its way to the standard AirPods as well as the company's high-end AirPods Max. Next week, Apple will announce the new AirPods Pro with a USB-C port to match the likes of the iPhone 15 models. Apple is bringing the change to its entire iPhone 15 lineup and not just the 'Pro' models.
As mentioned earlier, USB-C will first make a debut with the launch of the new AirPods Pro 2. The company will bring the port to the standard AirPods and AirPods Max next year. Apple's AirPods Max is due for an update and we can expect various changes to come with it. For instance, the company could introduce new color options and bring new audio modes to the table. Furthermore, upgraded internals are always part of the mix for better sound quality and connectivity. As for the design, the company can make slight adjustments to the head banc and the earcups. The design of the standard model could remain the same.
Currently, we are not familiar with the new USB-C port will bring new features to the table. We can expect faster wired charging speeds and the ease of charging your AirPods and iPhone with the same cable but other than this, details have been pretty scarce. Nonetheless, the company could showcase different use cases for a USB-C port on the AirPods charging case next week.
Gurman also shared his speculations on what users can expect from Apple's Wonderlust event on Tuesday. The new iPhone 15 Pro models will feature a titanium build with an Action Button instead of a Mute Switch. Furthermore, the glass on the front and back will melt into the frame of the phone which will change the look and feel of the device. Furthermore, the bezels will be minimized by one-third which will make the display appear bigger.
Additionally, Gurman also suggests that the Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 will come with upgraded sensors and a new heart rate monitor. The company's focus with the Apple Watch is accuracy, speed, and efficiency, allowing the device to be one of the best health trackers on the market. We will be covering Apple's Wonderlust event in extensive detail, so be sure to stick around.
