The AirPods also received a major (or not so much) renewal during Keynote last September 12. Wireless charging is here to stay, and that is why Apple has decided to establish it in a wide range of products. We started with the iPhone 8, we went through the iPhone Plus and as expected, it has completely reached the AirPods, Apple's most famous headphones.
The AirPods from now on will have a box compatible with the Qi wireless charging standard, the most used by the vast majority of compatible products. But not only the box will be compatible with the AirPods that it brings, but also with those already present.
In short, the box with inductive charging of the AirPods can be purchased independently, as follows Mac Prime, there are indications that during the month of December they will be present as a replacement in the Apple Stores around the world (where the AirPods are sold of course) and will cost $ 69. We do not yet know the exact price for Europe, but we imagine that it will remain the same price as in the case of the replacement box of the normal AirPods, around 79 euros, which in turn is the same price that they offer for an AirPod for separate, in case you lose any.
These are the prices that Apple contemplates for out-of-warranty repairs or replacements for this particular product. The only design change that we are going to find in this new AirPods box is the replacement of the position of the charge indicator (LED), which has gone from being inside the box to being located on the front of it, which will help us tremendously to know when they are fully charged when it comes to wireless charging. The perfect and expensive companion to the AirPower.
