Currently, Apple offers EarPods with two interface options – Lightning and 3.5mm audio jack.
Apple EarPods with USB-C could be in mass production even before the launch of iPhone 15 series. Here we know.
With the iPhone 15 series rumored to move from Lightning to USB-C, accessories including Apple EarPods and cables are also making the shift to USB-C. As spotted by MacRumors, popular leaker ShrimpApplePro has claimed that Apple EarPods with USB-C are already in mass production ahead of the launch of the iPhone 15 series in September this year.
ShrimpApplePro tweeted, “The best evidence is that the USB-C MFI cable and EarPods have been in mass production for a while.”
After an EU regulation forced Apple to switch to USB-C, Apple is expected to embrace USB-C ports for all of its iPhone 15 lineup — including the iPhone 15 vanilla model and the more expensive iPhone 11. 15 Pro is included. Additionally, as claimed by Ming-Chi Kuo, other Apple accessories such as the AirPods case, MagSafe battery pack, and Magic Keyboard and Magic Mouse are expected to switch to USB-C.
The demand for USB-C accessories will only grow over time as Apple has been using the Lightning connector for quite some time, and it’s more than likely that users already have a fair share of Lightning accessories, so there’s no need to worry about USB-C compatibility. As for C, it makes sense for Apple to launch a whole new set of accessories – along with USB-C. Currently, Apple offers EarPods with two interface options- Lightning and 3.5mm audio jack.
