It'll likely be a few years before everyone in the Apple ecosystem can ditch their Lightning cables, but [AirPods Pro](https://mashable.com/review/apple-airpods-pro-2-review) owners can do it right now without buying a new pair.

Specifically, owners of the 2023 second-gen AirPods Pro can buy a new [USB-C charging case](https://zdcs.link/Y1qPd?pageview_type=RSS&template=article&module=content_body&element=offer&item=text-link&element_label=USB-C%20charging%20case&object_type=article&object_uuid=03McNGvPzF0FQIKjxsTUSox&short_url=Y1qPd&u=https%3A%2F%2Fmashable.com%2Ffeeds%2Frss%2Ftech "(opens in a new window)") directly from Apple's online storefront. It looks and operates the same as the one that came with your AirPods Pro over the summer, but as you might've guessed already, it uses USB-C for charging instead of Lightning.

Get one of these, and an [iPhone 15 Pro,](https://mashable.com/review/apple-iphone-15-pro-max-review) and you can kiss Lightning goodbye.
