EarPods With USB-C Said to Be in Mass Production Ahead of iPhone 15 Launch

In the third quarter of this year, Apple plans to launch its iPhone 15 and as the launch date approaches, more details about the upcoming devices are being revealed.

The four iPhone 15 models will feature a USB-C port instead of Lightning, which is due to the new EU law.

In line with this change, a number of Apple accessories will also switch to USB-C.

Latest reports suggest that Apple is currently developing EarPods with USB-C in anticipation of the iPhone 15 launch.

Apple Hub tweeted that EarPods with a USB-C connector are currently in mass production.

The upcoming EarPods will eliminate the need for an adapter by directly connecting to the USB-C port on iPhone 15 models.

Currently, Apple offers wired EarPods with either a Lightning connector or a 3.5mm headphone jack, both priced at $19.

Although the popularity of EarPods has declined since the release of wireless AirPods in 2016 and the removal of headphone jacks from iPhones, they are still a more affordable option for customers.

EarPods provide a simple plug-and-play wired listening experience, with a built-in remote and no need for charging or pairing.

Iphone15- Apple

We expect Apple to announce the iPhone 15 lineup in September, and they will likely launch the new EarPods around the same time.

Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo previously stated that other accessories, such as AirPods charging cases, the MagSafe Battery Pack, and the Magic Keyboard/Trackpad/Mouse trio, will also switch to USB-C in the future.
