Apple has just unveiled the second generation of its popular AirPods Pro during its "Wonderlust" event, and there's one standout feature that's sure to catch the attention of tech enthusiasts: the new USB-C compatible case. This innovation means that the AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) will now use the same charging cable as the iPhone 15, iPad Pro, iPad Air, MacBook, and most Android devices, making it even more convenient for Apple users.

But that's not all that's new. The AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) retain the impressive features that made their predecessors a hit. Active Noise Cancellation, which is now 2 times better than before, ensures that you can enjoy your music or calls without unwanted distractions. The spatial audio experience has also been enhanced, immersing you even deeper into your audio content. And there's a new Advanced Transparency mode, offering greater awareness of your surroundings while still enjoying your music. Also, Catch all the iPhone 15 Live Updates here.

Lossless Audio

Additionally, Apple's latest AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) with the MagSafe Charging Case (USB-C) brings an improved audio experience with Lossless Audio and ultra-low latency, thanks to Apple Vision Pro. The H2 chip integrated into these AirPods Pro, combined with a cutting-edge wireless audio protocol, delivers powerful 20-bit, 48 kHz Lossless Audio with a significant reduction in audio latency.

And there's more innovation on the audio front. AirPods Pro now features Adaptive Audio, a feature made possible by iOS 17.
