World's First USB-C AirPods

Ken Pillonel built the World's First AirPods with a Type-C port for charging. The mod is working on the first and second generation so far. After creating the first USB-C iPhone in the world, Ken decided he needs to bring his skills to the other Apple product he uses daily that is still missing this common sense port. This trailer shows the final result of the hack with some quick shots from the full-length video currently being edited.The whole project will be made open source.

[thejaswal]

This is how when companies become large and mature/old, they start to lag behind new tech due to so much diversified investment in old/outdated tech. fresh minds have to come in to change the status quo and raise the bar. Apple continues to lead in many areas but also continues to lag in some like this one.

[kazihossain]

Would you be opposed to selling these, or charging a service fee?

[radspeed]

You are doing the work apple is afraid to do
And for that I praise you
