Your next pair of AirPods could have a USB-C charging case. The company is planning to launch a second generation AirPods Pro with a USB-C charging case later this year, according to Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.
“I think this is likely the USB-C version of the AirPods Pro 2, with mass shipments expected in 2Q23-3Q23,” Kuo said in a tweet on Friday.

Apple didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
