In an unexpected move, Apple is now selling the MagSafe Charging Case (USB‑C) for AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) as a separate accessory. So if you have always wanted to get a new USB-C case without getting a new pair of AirPods, now is the season.

Apple fans are feasting today. Earlier this morning, the AirPods Pro 2nd Generation debuted alongside the latest iPhone 15 and Apple Watch. Interestingly, this device features improved USB-C charging, better dust resistance and Lossless Audio with Apple Vision Pro.

It's not often that you see promotions from Apple Malaysia and when they do, it's usually new discount prices whenever the next-gen products are released. In this article, a few Mac and iPad products are having a University Student Offer with a free AirPods or Apple Pencil bundle.

Apple has built a reputation for product exclusivity and its ecosystem. That might end this September as the latest iPhone products could come with a built-in USB-C Port.

While most mobile devices use USB Type-C ports, Apple has stuck to its Lightning ports. This is because it's a proprietary format, so Apple gets to set higher prices. But the AirPods Pro 2 could be the first Apple device to get a USB-C version.

Previously, we reported that Apple may be working on a more affordable ‘AirPods Lite’ to compete with budget wireless earbuds and now, more information has come out regarding this development. According to reliable tipster Ming-Chi Kuo, the alleged affordable AirPods will launch alongside a new AirPods Max as early as the second half of 2024.

Since the introduction of the first-generation AirPods and the ‘brave’ decision to get rid of the audio jack back in 2016, Apple has pretty much started the wireless earbuds trend that we see in the market today. While the AirPods lineup has been pretty popular and sold millions, it looks like the tech giant is not fully satisfied and may be looking into entering the budget wireless earbuds market as well.

With the Chinese New Year celebrations less than a month away, Apple has released a Chinese New Year gift guide in China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau with various discounts as well as limited-time products. These include a special-edition second-generation AirPods Pro with a Year of the Rabbit engraving.

Previously, Nothing said that its first smartphone, the Nothing Phone (1) will be able to show the battery percentage of the Apple AirPods lineup with its next update. True to its words, the company has recently released the Nothing OS 1.1.7 update for the Android smartphone and lo and behold, the device now has extra functionality when paired with the AirPods.

Apple is reportedly planning to adopt USB Type-C more widely within its portfolio, including on the AirPods lineup as well as Mac accessories. This is according to reliable tipster on everything Apple, Mark Gurman.
