AirPods Pro 2 may launch this year without a hugely requested feature

For instance, a patent suggests the AirPods Pro 2 could support a proprietary wireless streaming tech that'll help bring lossless audio to the buds.Apple's bespoke Lightning cable has its benefits in that it allows for reliable fast charging of Apple devices, like the iPhone 13 and the first iteration of the AirPods Pro – USB-C cables aren't all the same, and there's no way to tell the difference between them, so you can get inconsistent results. USB-C ports are, more often the not, found on Android-powered phones and devices, as well as handheld gaming consoles like the Nintendo Switch.It's not all bad news, though, as another recent Kuo report suggests that Apple may finally ditch Lightning after the iPhone 14's launch, meaning the company's next flagship phone could be the last to require Apple's bespoke charging tech.
