So, if you like to customise your phone, this is the perfect update for you.

AirPod Pro 2

The AirPod Pro 2 series is getting a massive upgrade – USB-C charging. Apple has brought USB-C charging ports to both the new iPhone 15 series and their AirPod Pro’s. So, what does this mean? USB-C is considered a better way of charging your devices. It’s quicker and more powerful. For existing AirPod Pro 2 owners, you can purchase a new case separately. If you purchase new AirPods, you will receive a new case automatically.

Apple Watch Series 9

Up next is the Apple Watches. Alongside announcing some cool new features to the latest Watch Series, Apple also announced new steps to improve their environmental impact. The new Apple Watch Series 9 is the first carbon-neutral product, which is extremely eco-friendly. Plus, they also no longer use leather in any future Apple Product.
