ALT Text: The image shows a white AirPods Pro 2 case placed on a wooden surface. The case is sleek and compact, with a smooth glossy finish. It has an LED indicator on the front and a charging port at the bottom. The wooden surface contrasts with the modern look of the AirPods case, highlighting its design. The background includes parts of furniture and a tripod-like structure, adding a minimalist and modern aesthetic to the setting.

Customers will not be able to purchase a standalone AirPods Pro charging case equipped with a USB-C port, Apple has confirmed following the transition of the AirPods to the universal charger. At its “Wonderlust” event today, Apple officially transitioned the iPhone and the AirPods Pro to USB-C following regulatory pressure from the EU and Saudi Arabia.

The new AirPods Pro with USB-C will begin shipping on September 22 for $249. For customers who have the AirPods Pro with the Lightning charging case, there will be no way to purchase or trade-in for a USB-C case, Apple has confirmed. Instead, customers will be required to cough up $249 for an entirely new pair of AirPods Pro.

The second-generation AirPods Pro were announced last year during the company’s iPhone 14 September event, marking the first update to the AirPods Pro since their introduction. The second-generation AirPods Pro features improved Active Noise Cancelation and Transparency Mode, an updated charging case with a speaker and a hock, and more.

Affiliate links are a popular way for websites to make money, but they can also be annoying to readers. They can obstruct content, trick visitors, and even be scams.

Supercharged is committed to respecting your time, sanity, and convenience. That’s why we’re doing affiliate linking differently.

You Control What You See

Have you ever felt like you're bombarded with affiliate links and ads constantly? We understand how overwhelming that can be, which is why we want to give you some control with the option to expand the affiliate options that you find interesting.

We're Strict

We have a strict policy of showing you a maximum of five brands or products at once. It's simple: if we wouldn't buy it ourselves, we won't recommend it to you.

No Tracking or Creepy Cookies

For all of our affiliates, we work directly with the companies to offer discounts and deals for you. We do not use third-party affiliate managers, trackers, or platforms like Amazon, so you can be confident that you won't have to deal with tracking.
