Mashable: It's a magical place where all your cables are interchangeable and life is just that much easier, something Android has embraced far long back.

Looks like Apple is finally doing something it should have done ages ago. Thanks to MacRumors, according to a tweet from ShrimpApplePro, all four models of the iPhone 15 will be equipped with a USB-C port instead of the kind-of-outdated Lightning port. And, as if that wasn't enough, the new EarPods with a USB-C connector are already in mass production, so the USB-C for iPhone people can collectively exhale in relief.

Gone are the days of fumbling around with adapters and dongles. With the new EarPods, you can now connect your trusty wired earbuds directly to your iPhone 15, without having to spend money on yet another accessory. Because let's be real, after spending a generous amount on a new iPhone, who would not want to save on some extra cash?

It's at this point that you're probably wondering, "But what about my Lightning EarPods?" Unfortunately, things must change and you must go on. Those days are over. Apple is clearly moving towards a future where everything is USB-C, and you should too. It's a magical place where all your cables are interchangeable and life is just that much easier, something Android has embraced far long back. Plus, the new EarPods are reportedly going to be more affordable than their wireless counterparts, so you'll have even more cash to spend on...well, whatever you want.

Sure, AirPods may have stolen the show when they were released in 2016, but let's not forget about the OG EarPods. They may not be wireless, but they provide a simple, plug-and-play listening experience. Plus, with a built-in remote, you won't have to worry about accidentally skipping a song or answering a call when you're trying to adjust the volume. And, let's not forget, there's no need to charge or pair them. It's like the good ol' days, except...with USB-C.

Likewise according to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, we hear that other accessories, such as the AirPods charging case, the MagSafe Battery Pack, and the Magic Keyboard/Trackpad/Mouse trio, will also be switching to USB-C in the future. It's like a breath of fresh air in a world where we're constantly bombarded with different charging cables and ports. With USB-C, everything will be so much simpler.

If you're an Apple fan, mark your calendars now. It's anticipated that new EarPods will debut around the same time as September's announcement of the iPhone 15 series takes place. A new age has begun, and we couldn't be happier about it.
