Apple has announced the second-generation AirPods and they ship with an optional Wireless Charging Case which was promised eons ago. Guess what? Existing users too can buy said case.

The AirPods 2 are here. They’re real. But you know what else is here? The Wireless Charging Case that was announced quite some time ago alongside AirPower. Said case is an optional accessory with the AirPods 2. But wait, it gets better. If you have the first-generation AirPods with you, with the boring old W1 chip, then you too can get in on the wireless action. It’ll cost you just $79.
