Screenshot by Jay Peters / The Verge Now that the iPhone has USB-C ports, Apple is selling wired EarPods with a USB-C connector that you can use with the new smartphones - and, thankfully, a bunch of Apple devices.
According to Apple's page for the USB-C EarPods, they'll work with iPhones, iPads, and Macs with USB-C ports; however, they'll have to be on semi-recent operating systems to be compatible with the updated headphones. Specifically:
Mac models with USB-C running macOS Monterey 12.6 or later.
iPad models with USB-C running iPadOS 16.4 or later.
iPhone models with USB-C running iOS 17 or later.
While the software limitation is somewhat annoying, I'm still very happy to see that Apple has finally released a USB-C version of EarPods. Anytime I need to take a call on...
