Apple doesn't bundle the new AirPods 4 with a charging cable

Apple has unveiled its latest wireless earbuds, the AirPods 4, but notably did not include a USB-C cable for charging in the package.

According to 9to5Mac, the product's official page states that USB-C cables are sold separately for both versions of the AirPods 4 — the standard model and the one with active noise cancellation.

During the presentation, Apple did not highlight the lack of a cable. It's possible the company believes that most users already possess sufficient USB-C cables. However, it is worth noting that previous AirPods models were bundled with Lightning cable, which has now been replaced with USB-C.

This practice is not novel for Apple. Several years ago, the company stopped including charging adapters with its devices. In 2022, the USB cable for charging the Siri Remote disappeared from the Apple TV package. Therefore, the absence of a cable with the new AirPods 4 is not unprecedented, but customers will need to purchase one separately if they do not have a spare.

However, not all Apple products are sold without cables. The new version of the AirPods Max still comes with a charging cable, so buyers of this model will not have to purchase it separately.
