Apple discontinued the AirPods 2 and 3 in favor of two AirPods 4 variants.
Unlike their predecessors, both AirPods 4 models dont include a charging cable in the box.
The new AirPods models have USB-C ports, so most users likely wont need to buy an extra cable separately.

Earlier this week, Apple introduced two AirPods 4 models, along with the iPhone 16 (https://www.androidauthority.com/apple-iphone-16-3368121/) line and Apple Watch Series 10. It also discontinued the AirPods 2 and 3, which sold for $129 and $179, respectively. For the same price tags, users can now buy AirPods 4 with or without ANC — based on the tier they opt for. Notably, though, neither AirPods 4 model includes a charging cable in the box.

Apples technical specifications webpage (https://www.apple.com/airpods-4/specs/) highlights that*the latest AirPods (https://www.androidauthority.com/apple-airpods-comparison-3297820/) boxes no longer offer a USB-C charging cable. Those who dont already own a compatible charger will need to buy one separately. For reference, the AirPods 2 and 3 did offer a charging cable, and the AirPods Pro 2 and Max continue to do so.
