Apple Introduces Updated AirPods Pro and EarPods With USB-C and More
In addition to the iPhone 15 models getting a USB-C port, Apple today announced that the second-generation AirPods Pro are now available to order with a USB-C charging case for $249, and the wired EarPods now come in a USB-C version as well.
The updated second-generation AirPods Pro ship with a USB-C charging case, but the case is not sold separately at this time on Apple's online store. Additionally, the updated second-generation AirPods Pro include improved IP54-rated dust resistance for the earbuds and case, and will support lossless audio when connected to the Apple Vision Pro headset launching in early 2024. No other changes were announced.
Apple said the updated second-generation AirPods Pro will begin arriving to customers and launch in stores on Friday, September 22.
Apple continues to sell EarPods with a Lightning connector and with a 3.5mm headphone jack.
