Customers who haven't ordered the new AirPods yet may still be able to nab a pair. Third-generation AirPods are still available to order with estimated delivery dates in early November as of the writing of this article. Brick-and-mortar retail locations will also have the AirPods in stock starting on Tuesday.

Apple's third-generation AirPods feature a new AirPods Pro-like design, as well as improved audio quality, support for spatial audio, and a new MagSafe-compatible charging case.

Earlier on Monday, early reviews of Apple's third-gen AirPods were largely positive, with many outlets praising the improved audio quality and more comfortable fit.

In addition to the new AirPods and polishing cloth, orders of updated 14-inch MacBook Pro and 16-inch MacBook Pro models are also expected to arrive starting on Tuesday.
