Apple just slashed AirPods to record new low price – and it's not even Black Friday yet
APPLE AIRPODS have dropped in price for the first time since these mind-bogglingly popular wireless earbuds launched.
If you missed Apple's latest blockbuster event, the company unveiled a redesigned MacBook Pro, added some bright colours to its HomePod mini smart speaker, and launched the highly-anticipated third-generation of AirPods. Rumoured for more than a year, the new wireless earbuds sport a new design that's closer to the pricey AirPods Pro than the original AirPods and include support for the head-tracking Spatial Audio feature available in the likes of Apple Music, TV+ and Netflix.
Priced at £169, AirPods 3 will replace the second-generation AirPods in the line-up when they launch nationwide on October 26. But what about the classic AirPods – with the longer stem design and upright TicTac-like charging case? Well, thankfully, Apple is keeping them around for a little longer at a new low price tag.
The second-generation AirPods, which cost £159 with the standard charging case just last week, will now set you back £119 from Apple. If you buy direct from the Apple Store, you have the ability to get a free engraving with your name, a personal message, or an emoji of your choice. Or some combination of all of them.
However, there are advantages to buying from a number of other high street stores. For example, BT offers customers the ability to pay off their shiny new earbuds over four months with 0% APR. Amazon offers next-day delivery – and in some areas, if you order before midnight, same-day delivery – at no extra charge for Prime subscribers.
