Student Ken Pillonel redesigned the iPhone X with a USB-C port instead of a Lightning connector. Now he has done the same with AirPods.
The specialist published all the diagrams and videos, where he showed the modification process and the result. As mentioned, the job requires a 3D printer. After all, the engineer cut out the case of the charging case and then created a new one by adding a circuit board with a USB-C port.
The result is a version of the AirPods that can be charged with any USB-C cable. All materials are available on GitHub. In addition, the author offers ready-made kits and will probably start selling them in the future.
It is possible that new iPhone and AirPods models will get standard USB-C connectors in the coming years, as this is also required in Russia.
