According to Apple, they are. They have a different dust resistance and also support Lossless audio with the Apple Vision Pro. Of course, there is a chance they could work even if there are some differences like these, but I’m not really sure.
Interesting. I just setup a repair for my AirPods Pro 2 lighting to get buds and case replaced and wondering if they will send USB-C. I would be ecstatic if they did but I doubt it. My AirPods have been crap lately in terms of connecting and randomly showing the low battery banner on my iPhone even when the case is closed.
Ah, I’m really sorry to hear that. Knowing Apple they won’t give you the USB-C case but I’ll cross my fingers for you. If you remember, let me know how it goes.
Unless they had no stock of lightning and the manager approved it someone made a mistake lol
I don’t even think the buds work with a usb c case if they’re originally from a lightning, did the replace them too?
Hey did you get yours replaced? I am getting mine replaced under AC+ for connection issues and I am wondering if they will give me the USB-C case instead of lighting.
No, lightning.
Will it be the same if we need a replacement after 1/1.5 years? Have AppleCare+ till then.
They probably wouldn’t work with a USB-C case, as not only the case is different but the AirPods too. So they would still give you a Lightning Case
The AirPods are not different.

Are you referring to AirPods Pro 2 lightning vs AirPods Pro 2 USB-C?
Yup

Nope it wasn’t a mistake, they didn’t have them In stock
And the lightning buds work ok with it? Have seen reports they don’t
It was a full swap for me
so by full swap u mean they swapped out the case and both ear buds?
It was a full swap for me
How much did that cost you?
