When were AirPods first released?
Which generation of AirPods is the best?
How often does Apple release new AirPods models?
Just curious lol, was watching the Apple Event video and when they mentioned AirPods Pro 2 instead of 2nd generation, I initially felt disappointed as I thought the updates were coming to a new AirPods Pro instead of an update to the existing 2nd generation.
I bought my Airpods pro 1st gen in April 2021. About 2 months ago I started getting the static sound with ANC and transparency mode. I thought I was going crazy at first.
I contacted Apple support online and they told me to go in store.
I went to a genius bar appointment.
They confirmed that both earbuds have static issue. However, I was told the airpods pro were manufactured in March 2021 (after October 2020) so not eligible for free replacement and I'm obviously out of warranty now too.
I was given 2 choices: replace each earbud at $115 cad (total $230 cad) with 1st gen or just buy the new 2nd gen for $329.
I mean I don't think 17 months is that long of a time.
Has anyone had any static issues with post October 2020 manufactured Airpods pro 1st gen? Did Apple replace them for free?
