Apple is speeding up the process of switching all of its products over to USB Type-C. The only two significant products that still use a lightning port for charging are AirPods and the iPhone.
The most recent study by Ming-Chi Kuo suggests that Apple may soon release a new model of the AirPods Pro 2nd Gen with a USB Type-C port in favor of the current model with a lightning port.

Also, according to Ming-Chi Kuo, the only Apple TWS with a USB Type-C port will be the AirPods Pro Gen 2.

Apple will reportedly continue to sell the AirPods 2 and AirPods 3 with the lightning port. The remaining functions and features of the future AirPods Pro 2 will be the same as those of the first model.
I think this is likely the USB-C version of the AirPods Pro 2, with mass shipments expected in 2Q23-3Q23. By the way, Apple currently appears to have no plans for USB-C versions of the AirPods 2 & 3.
我覺得這應該是AirPods Pro… https://t.co/aWKJvGh1lW

According to a recent report, the iOS 16.4 build made reference to new AirPods Pro models with the model number A3048 and a new case with the model number A2968, suggesting the launch of the AirPods Pro 2 with the USB Type-C connector is shortly.

The 2nd Gen AirPods Pro were first released by Apple in 2022 along with the iPhone 14 series. The second generation has enhanced ANC functionality, better audio quality, and even a new case with a lanyard loop. The AirPods Pro 2 offered a feature increase over its predecessor despite having a similar design to the first model.

The AirPods Pro 2 are currently available for Rs 26,900, and the upcoming model with the USB Type-C port is likely to replace these and could cost the same as the current model.
