This is the best summary I could come up with:

It’d be a little strange for Apple to transition the iPhone lineup over to USB-C only to leave its massively popular AirPods Pro stuck with Lightning charging ports.

Predictably, that’s not what’s going to be happening: today, Apple announced that the AirPods Pro will now be shipping with a USB-C charging case.

You’ll also be able to charge your AirPods from an iPhone, Apple said during the presentation.

The AirPods’ move to USB-C continues Apple’s gradual embracing of the connector and follows the Mac, iPad, iPhone, and even accessories like the Apple TV 4K’s remote control.

During the presentation, Apple also announced a revised pair of its wired EarPods that include USB-C.

Apple made no mention of a USB-C revision for those devices, and rumors have indicated that both products could be in line for an update sometime next year.

The original article contains 191 words, the summary contains 140 words. Saved 27%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

That’s why I got the lightning ones. I plan on using my 14Pro for another 2 years, and I have 4 lightning cables laying around.
