Apple’s September event brings a new version of the AirPods Max, offering new colors, USB-C charging, and improved iOS 18 features.
One of the biggest changes in the new AirPods Max is the switch from Apple’s proprietary Lightning port to a universal USB-C port for charging and data transfer, in order to comply with laws in the EU that make USB-C the standard for charging. You’ll still get a premium build with stainless steel adjustable arms for a custom fit and anodized aluminum outer ear cups to keep the headphones lightweight while trying to resist damage and corrosion.
