Apple May Release AirPods Pro 2 With USB Type-C Port

Listen to the Podcast:

Ming-Chi Kuo, a well-known Apple analyst, says that the new AirPods Pro 2 with USB Type-C charging port could be out by the end of 2023.

To remind you, the second generation AirPods Pro with a Lightning charging case came out in September 2022. The company is now working on a new version of the wireless earbuds that will charge with USB Type-C.

It seems likely that these will be the AirPods Pro 2 with a USB-C connector, and they won’t be widely available until the second or third quarter of 2019. “By the way, it seems that Apple has no plans to make USB-C devices. C versions of AirPods 2 and 3 at this time,” Kuo tweeted. Kuo says clues about the new AirPods found in the iOS 16.4 Release Candidate point to AirPods Pro with USB-C.

The new AirPods Pro 2 could be on the market by the end of the third quarter of 2023.

The current Apple AirPods Pro charging case has a built-in speaker that can help users find it if they lose it. It has extra support for the Apple Watch charger and a U1 chip for Find My device support.

Apple has been under intense pressure to switch to USB Type-C connections from its proprietary Lightning connector for its iPhones, AirPods, and other products. Apple has already switched the Siri Remote for Apple TV from Lightning to USB-C, so it makes sense that they would do the same for AirPods.

Apple is believed to add USB-C charging to the iPhone 15 series in 2023. Cupertino-based Apple is likely to add a custom IC chip to its USB-C port. This will be similar to how the Lightning port authenticates users.

Macrumours has said in the past, based on a Weibo rumor, that Apple has made its own version of the USB Type-C port for the iPhone 15. The person who leaked the information on Weibo says he is an expert in integrated circuits and they have worked on Intel Pentium processors for 25 years.

In 2012, Apple made Lightning ports made by Apple and certified by MFi. These connectors have a small IC inside that checks the parts that are being connected.
