Completely change the USB-C interface! Apple's new AirPods Pro 2

 

Only a few devices employ the popular USB-C interface because Apple has traditionally used the Lightning interface in its products.

According to recent reports, Apple will begin to widely popularize the USB-C interface this year. Together with the next iPhone 15 series, Apple will also release the AirPods Pro 2 with a USB-C port.

In Apple's iOS 16.4 system code, a developer has discovered an AirPods headset with the model number A3048. This is most likely the AirPods Pro 2 with a USB-C interface, which might be released in the second quarter and second quarter of this year when combined with earlier analyst Ming-Chi Kuo's report. Shipments in the third quarter were very high.

 All of this is a result of a new law that the European Union has put forth, which mandates all electronic items entering the continent in 2024 must utilize the USB-C interface uniformly. This is one of the reasons why Apple will fully popularize the USB-C interface this year.

 Thus it makes sense that the AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C connectivity has been released. Ming-Chi Kuo did add, however, that Apple does not currently have any plans to release AirPods 2 and AirPods 3 using the USB-C interface.

In September of last year, the AirPods Pro 2 was released. The noise reduction feature on AirPods Pro 2 has been completely upgraded over that of the original model.

 The AirPods Pro 2 also features a new Apple H2 processor, which works with specialized drive units and amplifiers to offer increased bandwidth and give users a ground-breaking audio experience.

 However, while AirPods Pro 2 does support Bluetooth 5.3, it is unfortunate that the LC3 encoder and LE audio are not supported. This headset cannot provide lossless sound quality since the existing protocol, the ACC protocol, is still consistent with the first generation.

 The AirPods Pro 2 has an incredible computational audio technique that has doubled noise reduction compared to the previous version because of the performance of H2. Active noise reduction can function to reduce noise even further thanks to the redesigned drive unit and improved acoustic algorithm.

Apple added a fresh technique to the adaptive transparency mode. When the user activates the adaptive transparency mode, AirPods Pro 2 may significantly reduce the strength of high-frequency and high-decibel noise, allowing the algorithm-filtered version of the initially loud ambient sound to penetrate the human ear more easily. In terms of battery life, this AirPods Pro 2 can provide up to 30 hours of battery life on a single charge, an increase of 6 hours compared to the previous generation.

 It can last for a full 6 hours on single-use, which is still 6 hours of active noise reduction. The Apple Watch charger and MagSafe wireless charging are also supported by AirPods Pro 2.

 From a business perspective, Apple's release of the AirPods Pro 2 with a USB-C interface is a hopeless compromise. After all, the Lightning interface, which has been in use for ten years, is extremely sound from both a business and environmental standpoint. Apple makes a significant amount of money thanks to the increased revenue that MFi certification brings.

 Apple will surely lose the advantages of MFi certification if it switches to the USB-C interface this time, but there are also rumors that Apple will use MFi certification in USB-C. I think Apple will draw a lot of customers once it makes this change. vocal rebuke.
