### Bring Your Own USB-C Cable or Wireless Charger for AirPods Pro 3
If you’re intending to acquire the new [AirPods Pro 3](https://www.amazon.com/Apple-Cancellation-Translation-Headphones-High-Fidelity/dp/B0FQFB8FMG?tag=marcmendes-20), it’s essential to realize that they do not include a charging cable or power adapter. Apple has explicitly stated on the AirPods Pro 3 technical specifications page:
> “USB‑C Charge Cable sold separately.”
While numerous users might have multiple charging solutions accessible at home, in the office, or in their vehicles, some individuals may find it necessary to purchase a USB-C cable or a wireless charger to power up their new AirPods Pro 3 case.
This practice of not supplying charging accessories with new items is part of Apple’s ongoing policy, which they assert aims to minimize environmental impact. However, this choice has resulted in criticism and legal disputes, with certain courts mandating Apple to supply charging accessories at no extra charge in specific instances.
The absence of a charging cable could be a cause of annoyance for some customers. If you feel bothered by this adjustment, consider voicing your opinions in the comments section.
