Customers can now purchase the AirPods Pro with MagSafe charging capabilities for the same $249 that they cost previously, without MagSafe.
Before Monday's Apple event, if you were to purchase AirPods Pro from Apple or any other Apple Authorized Retailer, you would receive a case that supported Qi Wireless charging. During the event, the company announced that it was shipping a MagSafe compatible case to accompany the AirPods Pro.
On top of that, Apple did not shift the price of the AirPods Pro purchased new as a unit. It still sits at just $249.
Before today, Apple sold the second-generation non-Pro AirPods with Qi Wireless charging for $199. The model without wireless charging previously retailed for $159.
Apple's new third-generation AirPods announced on Monday are $179, and the company will continue to sell its second-generation model without wireless charging for $129.

AirPods Pro in March 2022! Just wait, like me!
I wonder if they will sell a MagSafe case by itself? You can charge the current case with the MagSafe charger but it’s not a fun experience without the magnetism.
What is this all about? I've been charging my AirPods pro with the MagSafe Duo since it came out. What's the difference now? The case itself has magnets on the back or something?
Why update the case and not the AirPods Pro?
