Transform Your AirPods Charging with New USB-C Smart Cases
Upgrade Your AirPods with USB-C Smart Cases
In a groundbreaking move, engineer Ken Pillonel has unveiled smart cases that enable AirPods users to upgrade their Lightning ports to the universal USB-C standard. This innovation comes as a breath of fresh air for those still relying on outdated charging protocols.
Seamless Installation and Compatibility
- Made of durable, flexible 3D-printed plastic.
- Installation takes only about 10 seconds.
- Compatible with AirPods 1, 2, 3, Pro, and Pro 2.
These cases pass power through the USB-C port, making it work with the original Lightning port, while also being removable for direct access. They are available at a fraction of the price of Apple’s own USB-C charging case.
Adapter for AirPods Max Users
For AirPods Max owners hesitant to purchase the new USB-C model for $549, Pillonel offers a USB-C External Adapter. This small device plugs into the Lightning port of the original AirPods Max and remains discreet while providing modern connectivity.
Join the USB-C Movement
Pillonel's endeavors illustrate a growing movement against proprietary charging solutions. His previous upgrades for the iPhone X to USB-C have paved the way for these practical solutions, making tech accessibility better for all users.
