Apple Updates AirPods Max With USB-C Port and New Colors
Apple today announced that the AirPods Max are being updated with a USB-C charging port and new color options, including Midnight, Blue, Purple, Orange, and Starlight.
In addition, Apple said the AirPods Max are gaining support for Personalized Spatial Audio with the upcoming iOS 18 software update.
The updated AirPods Max will be available to pre-order for $549 starting today, and the headphones launch on Friday, September 20.
Apple did not announce any other changes for the AirPods Max during its event.
Apple first released the AirPods Max with a Lightning port in December 2020, and the changes announced today are very minor, to the point that Apple does not appear to be referring to the new headphones as AirPods Max 2.
