Interestingly, it seems not all of Apple’s legacy AirPods will be switching to USB-C in 2023. In his tweet, Ming-Chi Kuo also notes that only the AirPods Pro 2 models will make the switch in 2023 and that Apple has no plans to change the Lightning Port on its existing entry-level AirPods 2 and AirPods 3 wireless earbuds.
I think this is likely the USB-C version of the AirPods Pro 2, with mass shipments expected in 2Q23-3Q23. By the way, Apple currently appears to have no plans for USB-C versions of the AirPods 2 & 3.
我覺得這應該是AirPods Pro… https://t.co/aWKJvGh1lW

Including a USB-C connector on the AirPods Pro 2 would make it easier for users to connect them to a broader range of devices, as USB-C is becoming increasingly popular across various gadgets. In addition, given that USB-C offers faster charging speeds than Lightning, the switch could also lead to shorter charging times for the AirPods Pro 2, although Apple would need to enable this feature on the charging case for the AirPods Pro 2.
Given that Apple has faced severe criticism for its reluctance to switch from Lightning to USB-C, two of its popular products making the transition in 2023 could be seen as a welcome move. In fact, it would only accelerate the process that Apple started a few years ago by adopting the USB-C standard on the company’s MacBook and iPad Pro models. All that being said it would be advisable for consumers to wait for the official announcement from Apple for the rumored USB-C AirPods Pro 2 before setting this in stone.
