Title: EarPods With USB-C Said to Be in Mass Production Ahead of iPhone 15 Launch Post by: HCK on April 29, 2023, 04:05:04 pm EarPods With USB-C Said to Be in Mass Production Ahead of iPhone 15 Launch
With all four iPhone 15 models expected to feature a USB-C port instead of Lightning, several Apple accessories will switch to USB-C as well. For example, EarPods with a USB-C connector are already in mass production, according to a tweet today from leaker ShrimpApplePro (https://twitter.com/VNchocoTaco/status/1651502314237345792). They previously said Foxconn is supplying (https://twitter.com/VNchocoTaco/status/1630423052487098368) the earbuds. (https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2023/04/EarPods-USB-C-Feature-Yellow.jpg) The new EarPods would connect directly to the USB-C port on iPhone 15 models, without an adapter. Apple's wired earbuds are currently available with a Lightning connector (https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MMTN2AM/A/earpods-with-lightning-connector) or a 3.5mm headphone jack (https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MNHF2AM/A/earpods-with-35-mm-headphone-plug), with both versions priced at $19. EarPods have become less popular since Apple released wireless AirPods in 2016, and removed the headphone jack on iPhones, but they remain a more affordable option for customers. EarPods also provide a simple plug-and-play wired listening experience, with a built-in remote and no charging or pairing necessary. Apple is expected to announce the iPhone 15 lineup in September, and the new EarPods would likely launch around then. Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo previously claimed that other accessories (https://www.macrumors.com/2022/05/15/kuo-usb-c-apple-accessories/) like AirPods charging cases, the MagSafe Battery Pack, and the Magic Keyboard/Trackpad/Mouse trio will switch to USB-C in the future as well.<div class="linkback">Tags: EarPods (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/earpods/), ShrimpApplePro (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/shrimpapplepro/)</div> This article, "EarPods With USB-C Said to Be in Mass Production Ahead of iPhone 15 Launch (https://www.macrumors.com/2023/04/27/usb-c-earpods-rumor/)" first appeared on MacRumors.com (https://www.macrumors.com) Discuss this article (https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/earpods-with-usb-c-said-to-be-in-mass-production-ahead-of-iphone-15-launch.2387981/) in our forums Source: EarPods With USB-C Said to Be in Mass Production Ahead of iPhone 15 Launch (https://www.macrumors.com/2023/04/27/usb-c-earpods-rumor/) |
