Apple AirPods Pro (2nd gen) also gets USB-C

During today’s ‘Wonderlust’ iPhone 15 unveiling, Apple casually told that its AirPods Pro (2nd generation) also gets updated to USB-C port. Whereas the company claims its USB-C MagSafe charging case can provide up to six hours playback time.

This is in line with a significant change on the iPhone 15, now sporting a USB-C port as well, replacing the Lightning port. This change makes sense since all other Apple devices such as a MacBook and an iPad already use USB-C.

With the inevitable re-release of AirPods Pro 2nd-generation, Apple rightly so, has made incremental improvements. Including feature compatible with iOS 17, such as Adaptive Audio.

Apple AirPods Pro 2nd Gen (USB-C) price and availability

Despite the major change to a USB-C port, Apple isn’t charging more. It will remain priced at PHP 14,990 SRP as with the previous model with a Lightning port. And for those who aren’t quite ready to make the switch to USB-C, there are always the AirPods (2nd and 3rd gen) and AirPods Max to consider.

Currently, the new USB-C version of the 2nd-gen AirPods Pro is tagged as ‘unavailable’ on its PH website 41. However, the company says that its new products will be globally available on September 22.

Stay tuned for updates.
