"The AirPods Pro 3 seem like a solid upgrade, but they have one significant drawback: Apple isn't including a charging cable in the box, MacRumors reports. Apple spells it out right on the AirPods Pro 3 tech specs page, saying in the "In the Box" section that "USB‑C Charge Cable sold separately.""
"For a lot of people, this may not be a huge issue, especially if you already have a bunch of USB-C cables lying around the house. It's arguably a little more environmentally friendly, since it might mean fewer people lose or throw away yet another cable."
"But I'm the type of person who likes to stash away the additional cables I get with my tech, even if I don't need them at the time - having an extra cable in storage has come in handy more times than I care to admit. And with Apple having already stopped packing in things like wall plugs and headphones with iPhones, and now I'm wondering if it may someday stop including a charging cable in the box with iPhones, too."
Apple is not including a USB‑C charging cable with the AirPods Pro 3; the tech specs list "USB‑C Charge Cable sold separately" in the In the Box section. Owners must use an existing cable, purchase one, or rely on wireless charging to power the case. Many consumers already own USB‑C cables, reducing inconvenience for them and potentially decreasing cable waste. Some users prefer keeping spare cables for backups and convenience. The change follows Apple's earlier removal of wall plugs and headphones from iPhone packaging, prompting concern about possible future omissions.
