The new AirPods announced at Apple’s iPhone 16 event feature USB-C ports but lack USB-C charging cables, sold separately, challenging user assumptions about accessories.
Apple's decision not to include charging cables reflects a broader trend, as it has previously stopped supplying chargers with devices, leading consumers to adapt.
Despite the lack of a cable, the AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation were highly praised for their impressive performance in noisy environments, deemed Apple's "best fitting AirPods ever."
While the new AirPods 4 do not come with charging cables, Apple's AirPods Max continues to include a charging cable, highlighting varying accessory strategies across product lines.
