Just brought AirPods Pro...

[MisterBigMack]

Not received them yet - but seen it only has a usb c cable in the box and I have no usb c power yet - can I use my old lightning-usb cable from my iPhone XS to charge it?

 

[pgolik]

Yes, any usb lightning cable will work.

 

[MisterBigMack]

Yes, any usb lightning cable will work.

brilliant! What is the aim for Apple to include the lightning to usb c cable rather than the usual lightning to usb that they have done for years? I know they have done with the iPhone 11 Pros but isn’t that because of the faster charges for the 18w adaptors?

can AirPods Pro support fast charging? Or potentially?

 

[pgolik]

Don't know - they charge very quickly anyway. I guess they decided that USB-A is obsolete.

If you have a Qi charger, that will work as well, if you have the wireless charging case model.

you can use the same cable. Just in case of Airpods I don’t think the case will charge any faster.

I did find it strange that it came with the USB C charger, but I was glad it did because it saved me from having to buy one for my iPhone.

You can use any old charger, and you can use that USB - C to get a fast charger for your iPhone... they sell them separately so you are halfway there
