Apple AirPods Max: I hope you didn’t buy one recently because it now has USB-C
The Apple AirPods Max are arguably powerful, stylish, and a great value — and they just got even better, thanks to a new port upgrade.
At the “Glowtime” event today, Apple revealed that the AirPods Max has swapped out longtime proprietary Lightning charging for USB-C charging. And to that, I say, “Finally!”

Last year, the AirPods Max were ignored while the second-generation AirPods Pro and iPhone 15 series gained USB-C charging,
Now, if your Apple ecosystem consists of a modern iPhone, iPad, MacBook, and the upcoming AirPods Max, you’ll only have to worry about carting around a single USB-C charging cable.

With iOS 18, the upcoming AirPods Max will also support Personalized Spatial Audio to help customize your listening experience. Other than that, expect the same crisp listening experience, top-notch noise cancellation, and comfortable fit from the previous generation.

You’ll have five fun new colors to choose from, including starlight, midnight, purple, orange, and blue. Unfortunately, the company didn’t debut any additional earcup sizes this year, something we’ve been wishing for since publishing our Apple AirPods Max review.
You can pre-order the new Apple AirPods Max starting today for $549, the same price as its predecessor, and expect them to arrive as soon as Sept. 20.
Mashable’s currently on the ground in Cupertino for the Sept. 9 “Glowtime” Apple event. Check out our live blog to keep track of all things iPhone 16 (and more) before, during, and after the event.
