Title: AirPods Pro 3 Do Not Include a Charging Cable in the Box Post by: HCK on September 11, 2025, 04:05:03 pm AirPods Pro 3 Do Not Include a Charging Cable in the Box
While the AirPods Pro 2 included a USB-C charging cable in the box, the AirPods Pro 3 (https://www.macrumors.com/2025/09/09/apple-announces-airpods-pro-3/) unveiled on Tuesday come without one, according to Apple's website. (https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2025/09/airpods-pro-3-blue.jpeg) Apple's tech specs page for the AirPods Pro 3 (https://www.apple.com/airpods-pro/specs/) confirms the USB-C charging cable is sold separately. In the U.S., Apple's cheapest USB-C cable costs $19 (https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MW493AM/A/60w-usb-c-charge-cable-1-m), but you can of course use pretty much any USB-C charging cable from any brand. The case for the AirPods Pro 3 can be wirelessly charged with MagSafe, Qi, and Apple Watch chargers, so a charging cable is not strictly required. AirPods Pro 3 also ship without a charger, but that has been the case since the original AirPods Pro launched in 2019, so that is no surprise. In the U.S., AirPods Pro 3 are priced at $249, just like the AirPods Pro 2 were. However, while there was no price increase, Apple is now poised to earn some extra revenue from additional sales of USB-C charging cables. AirPods Pro 3 are available to pre-order now, and they launch on Friday, September 19.
