Quietly, like someone who knows they’re doing something wrong and doesn’t want anyone to notice, last week Apple added a AirPods Pro 2nd Gen case with USB-C. In this case, this is in no way a misdeed or a reproach. On the contrary.
It’s a good option for those who lose the original case or who simply want the luxury of replacing their current Lightning case with a USB-C case without having to purchase the full AirPods Pro 2. And we say luxury because, even if it is not very expensive, it still costs more than 100 dollars.
The USB-C commitment in the AirPods Pro will cost you 109 dollars
Apple’s September keynote served, among other things, to open wide the doors to USB-C in certain devices that were blocked in Lightning. The iPhone 15 are the best example, but also the AirPods Pro 2, launched a year ago with Lightning and since the middle of this month they are only sold with a USB-C port in their case.
Well what they did last week was launch a replacement box at 109 dollars. With USB-C, of course. This is obviously a special product in the sense that it doesn’t make much sense to buy it alone, but it does for those who already own AirPods Pro 2.
As we said in the introduction, the idea is that Serve as a replacement if the original housing has been lost or damaged. However, Apple does not ask for details when purchasing it, so its purchase is enabled for everyone. And yes, also for those who don’t have AirPods, although we have already said that it is absurd because the headphones are not included.
It must be said that the case Compatible only with 2nd generation AirPods Protherefore it will not be valid for the first generation AirPods Pro, nor for the AirPods 3. Likewise, it comes with a USB-C to USB-C charging cable and with the rest of the features that the model with Lightning had already, such as its wireless and magnetic charging capacity with MagSafe, its U1 chip to locate them precisely in the ‘Search’ application, as well as its resistance to water, sweat and dust with IP54 certification.

Currently it can be purchased through the Apple website from a browser or in the Apple Store app from an iPhone or iPad. In both cases, it costs the same price (109 dollars) and can be purchased for home delivery or collection from an Apple Store.
This launch ultimately means an increasing standardization of the connector which, according to European law which comes into force next year, must be USB-C. We will also have to see if this ends up happening with Mac accessories like the Magic Keyboard or the Magic Mouse 2 which, to everyone’s surprise, were not updated during the last Mac event while their move to the USB seemed to be an open secret. .vs.
