Description:
If you own an iPhone 15, Apple's USB-C charging cables can be used to charge up AirPods, and both versions have been discounted ahead of Black Friday.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Weve all been there. Youve just hopped onto the train, mentally prepared for the dopamine rush of that first killer Spotify track when bam! your Apple AirPods trigger that soul-crushing 'out of charge' jingle. Your heart sinks. Disaster. Cue the unwelcome sounds of the outside world; the horror!

But what if you never had to worry about your AirPods running out of charge again? Or, more specifically, you always had a way to charge them, wherever you are? Well, dear reader, thanks to the reverse charging capabilities of
the iPhone 15 , youre now able to do just that using only a USB-C cable, irrespective of which AirPods you own. When youre out and about, simply hook up your AirPods to your iPhone 15, and watch that battery refill.

Granted, if you own an iPhone 15 and AirPods, youll already have a suitable USB-C to USB-C cable or USB-C to Lightning cable to charge the latter on-the-go. But chances are you, like me, leave this cable plugged in at home to fulfil your nightly iPhone/AirPods charging needs. So, why not pick up a spare cable to throw in your jacket pocket or work bag? If you do, youll always have a way to charge your AirPods, regardless of where you are in the world, just so long as your iPhone 15 has plenty of charge left in the tank.

I'm telling you this now because both versions of Apples USB-C cable are currently on sale in the US and UK. In the US, for instance, you can pick up Apples official USB-C to Lightning cable at Amazon for $16.99 (down from
$19), while the companys brand new woven USB-C to USB-C cable has also been discounted to the same price. In the UK, youll find Apples USB-C to Lightning cable at Amazon for 15.20 (down from 19), while John Lewis has the newer
USB-C to USB-C cable down to just 15.20 , too.

I want to particularly shout-out Apple's woven USB-C cable. Just last week I turned to TechRadar's managing editor Roland Moore-Colyer and waxed lyrical about how the look and feel of this new cable is pretty much one of my favorite new things about the iPhone 15 range. Sure, it might sound a tad hyperbolic a cable is just a cable, after all but Apple devices have always leaned heavily on the power of simple aesthetics, and this braided USB-C
cable is the latest example of that winning design ethos. Best Black Friday Apple USB-C cable deal
