I can’t believe they just released the Gen 2 AirPods without updating the charge port to USB-C, especially given the iPhone changeover has been telegraphed for over a year. It’s like they learnt nothing from the MacBook USB-C transition.

The re-released Gen 2 Airpods PRO, at least, now have USB-C!

I wish I could just buy the case (and have it work with my existing pros)

They used to sell the case, and each airpod separately (with the total for all three being the same as a new pair), but it looks like they stopped? It was very useful when I ran over my airpods case with my LandCruiser, and it got a bit wonky (but was amazingly still fully functional).

You have to go through support in my experience to buy them. I wonder if the new case works with the old pods.

And I wish I could just trade the Type-C case with my lightning case (with at most a tiny refurbishing fee), there are a lot of people who just bought the Airpods pro 2 last or this year and not likely to purchase again in 2 yrs

That'd be nice, huh?

[dontdoxxme]

Also individual airpods please, for those of us, who, have, ahem, washed an airpod. (Secondhand case, sure, secondhand airpod... ew)

[tough]

the new airpods do have usb-c no?
