Can I get AppleCare+?
Yes. Just as with regular AirPods, AppleCare+
costs £29 on the AirPods Pro. If you need to get
your AirPods Pros replaced, it costs £29 per item
(each earbud, or the Wireless Charging Case) if you
have AppleCare+. If you don’t, each item costs £89
to replace. The AppleCare+ replacement costs are
identical to the AirPods, but the out-of-warranty
costs are £30 higher per item.What if I lose the ear tips?
Apple is said to offer replacement ear tips for £4,
though they’re not yet listed on Apple’s site.How long do the batterieslast?
Apple says the batteries lastforup
to five hours of listening time
without noise cancelling, and
4.5 hours with it. You get
3.5 hours of talk time on
phone calls. By recharging
in the case, you get,
according to Apple, “over
24 hours” of listening time
and 18 hours of talk time.
These figures are roughly
equivalent to the second-
generation AirPods.The AirPods Pro
