Reminder: AirPods 5 Do Not Include a Charging Cable in the Box

A reminder for anyone pre-ordering the new AirPods 5 announced this week: Apple does not include a USB-C cable or a charger in the box with either of the two models available.

If you purchase the cheaper of the two AirPods 5 models, you are limited to wired charging and will need to supply your own USB-C cable. Alternatively, you can opt for the AirPods 5 with a wireless charging case and use your own USB-C cable, Apple Watch charging puck, MagSafe charger, or Qi charger.
