Apart from bringing the USB-C port to the iPhone 15 series, Apple has also introduced the port to the AirPods Pro.
The company said at the Wonderlust event today that it will sell a USB-C powered AirPods Pro 2, which will be available at $249 starting September 22. The company added that users will be able to buy wired EarPods with a USB-C connector at $19.
It’s not clear if users will be able to purchase a USB-C case separately.

Earlier this month, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman noted that the regular AirPods and the AirPods Max will get USB-C treatment sometime next year.
In 2021, Apple introduced MagSafe compatibility to both AirPods and AirPods Pro. Now it is aiming to have a single port across iPhones, iPads, and AirPods.
Apple started moving the iPad lineup to the USB-C port starting in 2018 with the introduction of a new iPad Pro at that time.
