Apple’s AirPods Pro 3 Release Excludes Charging Cable
The newly announced AirPods Pro 3 from Apple have stirred debate over a significant omission: the absence of a charging cable included in the packaging, reports 24brussels. The company explicitly states on the product specifications page that the “USB‑C Charge Cable sold separately,” indicating that users will need to procure a charging cable independently or rely on a wireless charger to power the device.
This decision may pose minimal inconvenience for many consumers, particularly those who already possess multiple USB-C cables. From an environmental standpoint, this move could reduce the number of unnecessary cables that often end up discarded.
However, there are concerns among users who prefer retaining additional cables received with technology products, as these often prove useful over time. Apple’s previous decisions, such as excluding wall plugs and headphones from iPhone packages, raise questions: will Apple eventually eliminate charging cables from iPhone boxes as well?
The AirPods Pro 3 are positioned as a solid upgrade in the product lineup, and the absence of a charging cable may reflect a broader strategy towards environmental sustainability by minimizing electronic waste. Nonetheless, it remains a point of contention among loyal Apple customers.
