Apple announces USB-C port for iPhone 15, USB-C charging case for AirPods Pro 2. What you need to know?
Apple has officially confirmed the inclusion of a USB-C port in the upcoming iPhone 15, aligning with the European Union's regulations on cable standardization. The company's Wonderlust fall 2023 event primarily centered around the unveiling of the iPhone 15 and the latest Apple Watches. During the event, Apple also introduced a new USB-C charging case designed for the AirPods Pro 2.
Notably, these upgraded earbuds are now equipped with dust resistance, boasting an IP54 rating, which is an improvement from their previous IPX4 rating. Moreover, they promise lossless audio quality when used in conjunction with the Apple Vision Pro, although this feature may have limited utility for the majority of users.
Moving forward, the new USB-C charging case will come bundled with newly purchased AirPods Pro 2, as long as they are not part of the older stock. It remains unclear whether the case will be available for separate purchase for existing AirPods Pro 2 owners.
During the product launch event, Apple shared its commitment to incorporating USB-C connectors not only in the iPhone 15 series but also in future versions of the AirPods Pro earphones and its wired EarPods headphones.
These developments align with recent EU regulations, which were approved last year and mandate that all small and medium-sized electronic devices must adopt a standard charging cable, specifically USB-C, by the end of 2024. This initiative aims to reduce the number of cables required for various devices, ultimately benefiting consumers by reducing costs and contributing to the long-term reduction of electronic waste.
