Famous analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said that he thinks Apple will switch to USB-C-enabled charging cases for all AirPods models in 2023. On the new AirPods, which will be released earlier, there will be no changes in the charging interface.
No problems with iPhone 14 shipments
With these words, Kuo refers to AirPods Pro 2, which will be announced at one of the launch events in the fall. Because the render images leaked to the internet revealed that there should not be an expectation in this direction. The wireless headset will continue to use the Lightning port.
USB-C interface will be mandatory in 2024
It is thought that Apple may also sell USB-C-enabled charging cases separately. Thus, it will offer an option to users who want to leave the Lightning interface, as well as earn extra money from it. This move of the company can be considered as an early step towards complying with the new law of the European Union.
As you know, a law will go into effect in the fall of 2024 that will require manufacturers to use USB-C in smartphones, tablets, digital cameras, wireless headphones, portable consoles and other consumer electronics devices.
