Did you just lose your AirPods or put them in the washer by mistake? Maybe you dipped in the pool and forgot you had them in your pocket. Or maybe peer pressure over the summer has finally gotten to you and you’ve decided it’s time to move from that old pair of wired buds to spankin’ new wireless buds. Regardless of the reason, if you’re hitting “Buy” or “Add to cart” on any model of AirPods today, we really think you’re making a bad decision. You should wait a couple of weeks.
Why? Because September is upon us and with it comes a brand new Apple event where the company will announce its iPhone 15 line-up — the first to feature USB-C charging. And Apple being sensible and all (with the European Commission breathing down its neck), it won’t accept that its new iPhone buyers be seen carrying two different charging cables for their earbuds and their phones. So USB-C is coming to the AirPods too!
