**CUPERTINO, CA** – Apple today released a new USB-C to 3.5mm audio cable, priced at $39.

This release follows the announcement of Lossless Audio and Personalized Spatial Audio for AirPods Max. When used with AirPods Max, the cable provides ultra-low latency, ideal for gaming and content creation. The new cable replaces Apple’s discontinued Lightning to 3.5mm audio cable.
