Apple announced that it will release a new AirPods Pro with a case equipped with a USB-C port. Although this product is still introduced as the second generation of AirPods Pro, several new features have been added to it.
New features of AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C case
Apple has announced on its website that the second generation of AirPods Pro will support 20-bit 48kHz lossless audio with ultra-low latency in conjunction with the Vision Pro headset, which will be released in early 2024.
“When Apple Vision Pro launches in the US early next year [AD], users can enjoy the most advanced wireless audio experience on the market with the new AirPods Pro for entertainment, gaming, FaceTime calls and more,” the company explains. ยป
Apple also says that the new AirPods Pro, which are apparently updated, will use the IP54 standard for the earbuds themselves and the charging case to make them resistant to dust. Previously, this product only used the IPX4 standard for relative resistance to sweating and splashing water drops.
The new Airpod Pro is available now at a price of $249 and will be launched on September 31, 2023. The new Apple Case equipped with a USB-C port does not sell this product separately. In addition, the production and sale of AirPods Pro with Lightning Case has also been discontinued.
It should be noted that the third-generation AirPods Standard and AirPods Max did not receive any special updates. Last night, at the Wonderlust ceremony, while unveiling the iPhone 15 series, Apple finally announced that the USB-C port will replace the Lightning port, and for this reason, the AirPods Pro charger case has also been updated.
