It has an LED indicator on the front and a charging port at the bottom. The wooden surface contrasts with the modern look of the AirPods case, highlighting its design. The background includes parts of furniture and a tripod-like structure, adding a minimalist and modern aesthetic to the setting.

  • Still unclear if price will be changed
  • EarPods with Lightning and 3.5mm jack may still be availabe for older devices
  • New EarPods will likely launch with iPhone 15 series in September

Apple’s switch to USB-C is gradual but steady, as EarPods are set to come with USB-C, tweets leaker @ShrimpApplePro. The USB-C EarPods are said to be supplied by Foxconn, one of Apple’s contract manufacturers.

This move from Apple’s current EarPods with Lightning and a 3.5mm jack, comes right behind talks—and renders—of the iPhone maker switching the connectivity port to USB-C from the iPhone 15 series onwards.

For users that don’t want to wireless earphone solutions, EarPods offer direct, plug-and-play, charger-less connectivity, so it makes sense for them to come with a compatible connector.

Reliable Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has earlier reported that Apple is shifting all accessories to USB-C, like the Magic Mouse, Trackpad, and Keyboard. Additionally, according to them, AirPods Pro is also set to have a USB-C charging case sometime later this year.

The latest Apple TV remote has already made the switch to USB-C, starting the long road of the overhaul.
