Trade-In and Purchase Options for Apple's USB-C AirPod Cases?

Hey Apple, huge fan. I have a question. Given that Apple is committed to the environment, I'm curious about a few things. Will there be initiatives to accept trade-ins for the Lightning AirPod Cases? Can the USB-C case be purchased separately? And will this USB-C case be compatible with the AirPods I already purchased that came with a Lightning case? I've seen that in-store, the Case, Left, and Right Pods can each be bought for $90. Does this mean the USB-C case will also be sold individually? Or will I need to by a whole new set?

AirPods Pro (2nd generation)

So the USB-C case will be compatible with the buds from the lightning model I’ve already purchased?

Hello NESDUB,

Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We'd be happy to get your questions answered. AirPods are not an eligible item for the trade-in program but Apple can recycle them for free. For more information, check this out:

Apple Trade In

In the meantime, you can purchase an AirPods USB-C case separately here: AirPods Replacement, Repair, & Service

You can get estimate by making your selections at the bottom of the link above.

We hope this information is useful. Kind regards.

Bump ^

I'd like to know if my current AirPods will be compatible with a new USB-C case; phone support seems unsure.
