Apple could be preparing to adopt the USB Type-C charging standard for many products in its range by 2024, including future products in the AirPods range, as well as various accessories for Mac devices. This could be in line with its plans to shift the iPhone and iPad product lines to the USB Type-C standard, in order to comply with a recent order passed by the European Union mandating the more universally used USB Type-C standard for smartphones, tablets, and cameras from 2024 onwards.

The speculation on this comes via a report from journalist Mark Gurman via his popular Power On newsletter on Bloomberg. In the newsletter, he suggests that Apple has already been planning for the possibility of the European Union mandating a single charging standard to improve interoperability and reduce environmental waste caused by disposal of chargers.
