Apple has officially confirmed the launch of the iPhone 15 Series, set to take place on September 12, 2023, during an event called “Wonderlust.” In tandem with this highly anticipated release, Apple is rumored to introduce new AirPods equipped with a charging case featuring a USB-C port.
This forthcoming iPhone 15 Series is noteworthy as it marks Apple’s transition from the familiar Lightning port to the more universal USB-C port. This significant shift in connectivity is expected to extend to their TWS (True Wireless Stereo) lineup, including the popular AirPods.
According to reports from Mark Gurman of Bloomberg, the introduction of these new AirPods with USB-C ports is expected to coincide with the unveiling of the iPhone 15 Series. However, at this stage, it remains unclear whether these AirPods will be the standard model or the more advanced AirPods Pro.
The details regarding these new AirPods also leave room for speculation. It’s uncertain whether the change will be limited to the charging case’s port or if there will be additional features accompanying this update. To provide context, Apple released the third-generation AirPods in October 2021, followed by the second-generation AirPods Pro in September 2022.
The anticipation surrounding the release of AirPods with a USB-C port has been building for several months, and this development is expected to bring enhanced connectivity to both standard AirPods and the premium AirPods Pro. As the launch date approaches, tech enthusiasts will be eagerly awaiting further details.
