Apple has been working on several improvements to its audio-related products that could adapt to the needs and demands of their customers. Reports suggest that the new AirPods Pro 2 could likely arrive with a universal connector replacing the lightning port with USB Type-C.
This change comes in line with the brand’s plan to be more environment-friendly by making everything simpler. As iPhones will no longer consist of a charger, iPads already with USB-C have introduced this feature to future iPhones, and the AirPods Pro 2 could be the next device on this bandwagon.
What We Know About AirPods Pro 2
The famous Chinese analyst Ming-Chi Kuo recently took to Twitter, predicting that the AirPods Pro 2 headphones would come with USB-C. This statement gained much momentum as Kuo’s predictions usually hit the mark, and the headphones could likely arrive in Q2 of the year.
The current AirPods also called AirPods Gen 2 don’t have USB-C compatibility; however, recent rumors hinted that this may change with the AirPods Pro 2. If the AirPods Pro 2 comes with USB-C compatibility, it could mean faster charging and data transfer speeds, making them more appealing to users.
The Bottom Line
The Apple AirPods series has become the go-to option for many due to its ability to create a seamless ecosystem with devices. The new AirPods Pro 2 with the possibility of having USB-C compatibility could strengthen the brand’s offering by allowing faster, more efficient charging and connection to other devices. Whether or not the AirPods Pro 2 comes with USB-C or when the launch of the headphones remains uncertain, but it’s definitely something for Apple enthusiasts to look forward to.
