With the new second-generation AirPods Pro, users will be able to use their Apple Watch charger to charge the newly redesigned charging case.
There are now three ways to charge the new AirPods Pro case, including with a Lightning cable, MagSafe wireless charging, and now with an Apple Watch magnetic charging puck. The original AirPods Pro case cannot be charged with an Apple Watch charger.
Apple says the new AirPods Pro provide longer battery life, with up to six hours of listening time per charge with Active Noise Cancellation enabled. The charging case now provides up to 30 hours of total listening time, versus up to 24 hours for the original.
The new AirPods Pro will be available to order this Friday, September 9, with pricing remaining set at $249 in the United States.
