Apple has quietly introduced a new option for its third-generation non-Pro AirPods<\/a> \u2014 a Lightning-only charging case (via MacRumors<\/em><\/a>). On the surface, that\u2019s reasonable: forgoing wireless charging on the second-gen AirPods saved you $40<\/a>. But this time around, you\u2019re only saving ten doll<\/em>ars: they cost $169, compared to $179 for the MagSafe version (which can also be charged with a Lightning cable).<\/p>\n

For those looking to trade convenience for savings, foregoing wireless charging used to be a genuinely good option, saving you 20 percent. Now, you can just as easily save $10 on third-gen AirPods with two seconds of Googling \u2014 the MagSafe versions are on sale for $169 at both Amazon<\/a> and Target<\/a>. If you\u2019re willing to wait, you could probably snag them for even less around the holiday season if last year\u2019s deals<\/a> are anything to go by. <\/p>\n

Even Apple\u2019s \u201cWhich case is right for you?\u201d explainer doesn\u2019t sound enthused about the Lightning-only option.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

To be clear, I\u2019m not saying this is a completely useless product; if you never use wireless charging and don\u2019t ever intend to in the future, then sure, it may be worth getting the version with the Lightning-only case. But if you do want to go that route, don\u2019t settle for just $10 in savings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
