A new design is coming to Apple’s AirPods, AirPods Pro and AirPods Max in the coming months.
But if the change is coming soon, and I’m sure it is, then wouldn’t it make sense to add it to the next new model from the outset? The production costs will be much lower than changing midstream.
On the other hand, Apple doesn’t need to wait for new generations to appear before it tweaks the design. We know this because when AirPods third generation were released last year, with a MagSafe wireless charging capability, the existing AirPods Pro was quietly updated so it had MagSafe compatibility.
This way, when Apple is ready, it can switch connectivity on all its headphones simultaneously. Changing from Lightning to USB-C is a big move and will simplify life for many people with plenty of USB-C devices at home, like an iPad Air, iPad Pro or MacBook Air.So, while I absolutely think the next AirPods Pro could arrive in the next few weeks with USB-C charging on the case, my guess is Lightning will win the day and that’s what will be there.
In a sense, it’s slightly academic: let’s remember that AirPods third-generation and AirPods Pro both have MagSafe wireless charging as standard. Many users may not even need to concern themselves with the move as they’ll be charging wirelessly instead.
