How much do the standard Apple AirPods cost in the United States, including both the model with the standard Lightning charging case and the model with the MagSafe charging case? I’m specifically interested in the most recent, non-Pro version currently sold by Apple, and whether there are any official price differences for the optional wireless charging case upgrade. If multiple pricing options exist (like refurbished or bundled discounts), please clarify those as well. Additionally, are regional variations or seasonal promotions common, and what retailer typically offers the best current market price?Standard Apple AirPods (2nd generation) with Lightning Charging Case: $129
Standard Apple AirPods (2nd generation) with Wireless Charging Case: $139
Standard Apple AirPods (3rd generation): $179
Pricing details:
– The 2nd generation AirPods feature the H1 chip, Automatic Ear Detection, and support for “Hey Siri” hands-free voice activation.
– The Lightning Charging Case uses Lightning cables, while the Wireless Charging Case supports Qi-compatible wireless chargers.
– The 3rd generation AirPods include Adaptive EQ, Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking (for iOS devices), and a shorter stem design but lack active noise cancellation (available only on AirPods Pro).
– Prices are as of the last update; regional variations and promotions may apply. Refer to Apple’s official store for current rates.
