Apple is switching the AirPods Pro charging case to USB-C - The Verge
No such luck for the regular AirPods or AirPods Max (yet).
This is the best summary I could come up with:
It’d be a little strange for Apple to transition the iPhone lineup over to USB-C only to leave its massively popular AirPods Pro stuck with Lightning charging ports.
Predictably, that’s not what’s going to be happening: today, Apple announced that the AirPods Pro will now be shipping with a USB-C charging case.
You’ll also be able to charge your AirPods from an iPhone, Apple said during the presentation.
The AirPods’ move to USB-C continues Apple’s gradual embracing of the connector and follows the Mac, iPad, iPhone, and even accessories like the Apple TV 4K’s remote control.
During the presentation, Apple also announced a revised pair of its wired EarPods that include USB-C.
Apple made no mention of a USB-C revision for those devices, and rumors have indicated that both products could be in line for an update sometime next year.

That’s why I got the lightning ones. I plan on using my 14Pro for another 2 years, and I have 4 lightning cables laying around.
