Apple could soon launch a USB-C version of its second-gen AirPods Pro. That\u2019s according to Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo<\/a>, who believes the company could start shipping the earbuds with a USB-C case during the second and third quarters of this year.<\/p>\n

This apparently doesn\u2019t apply to Apple\u2019s standard AirPod models, though, as Kuo notes that the company \u201ccurrently appears to have no plans for USB-C versions of the AirPods 2 & 3.\u201d Kuo hinted at the change in response to a tweet from Twitter user @aaronp613<\/a>, who spotted references to a new AirPods model number (A3048), along with a new AirPods case model number (A29680) in iOS 16.4.<\/p>\n

Apple launched its second-gen AirPods Pros<\/a> last September, which comes with a Lightning port and compatibility with MagSafe, Qi, and Apple Watch chargers. The company also introduced a couple of other new features with the case, including a speaker that emits a noise when locating them with the Find My app, as well as a built-in loop where you can attach a lanyard. <\/p>\n

That said, it\u2019s still not clear if the updated AirPods Pros will come with any additional changes, or whether Apple will also sell the rumored USB-C case separately. Apple has released updated versions of its AirPods charging cases in the past, such as the MagSafe case option it introduced for the AirPods Pro<\/a> in 2021, and last year\u2019s Lightning-only charging case for the third-gen AirPods<\/a>. Apple doesn\u2019t sell either of these cases separately, however. <\/p>\n

\n

With the European Union set to require USB-C charging ports<\/a> on many types of new electronic devices next year, it\u2019s no surprise that Apple\u2019s starting to move away from Lightning. The company confirmed last year that it plans on changing<\/a> the iPhone\u2019s connector to USB-C, and rumors indicate that the iPhone 15 will come with the port<\/a>. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

As for its range of accessories, Bloomberg<\/em>\u2019s Mark Gurman predicted that Apple could bring USB-C<\/a> to its AirPods and Mac accessories by 2024. Meanwhile, Kuo has previously reported that the fourth-gen AirPods could come with a USB-C charging case<\/a> and said they could launch in the second half of 2024<\/a> or the first half of 2025. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
