AirPods Pro did not come with a charging block and does not fit in the block I have

Received my AirPods Pro yesterday. They came with a charging cord but not a block that plugs into the wall socket. The cord does not fit into the block that came with my iPhone. What do I do now???

iPhone 11, iOS 15

The cable that came with your AirPods Pro is a Lightening-to-USB-C. The charging block for your iPhone likely has a USB-A port. So you have options.


  1. You can use your iPhone cable and charger to charge your AirPods Pro
  2. You can buy a USB-C charging block to match the cable that came with your AirPods Pro.
  3. You can buy another Lightening-to-USB-A cable to match your iPhone charger.


By way of explanation, the industry is moving away from the USB-A standard to to the USB-C standard and right now there’s a mix of standards that can be confusing to users.
