To those that say AppleCare is a waste, my original AirPods stopped working shortly after I had them for a year. Went to the Apple Store just to see if they could helo, and no. I had to buy new ones. I think for $29 US it is a safe thing. 2 years of coverage. If used daily or close to it, even with Apple quality, I don’t think these will last 2 years.

3. AppleCare+ ? - No
4. Current Status - Shipped via UPS, ETA 10/30 (original confirmation said 10/31)

The UPS tracking number is not live yet, so I don't know where the package is coming from.

Once I confirm that the new design fits me, I will probably add AppleCare for easy battery replacement just prior to 24 months. By 26 months or so, my original AirPods wouldn't last through an hour-long run, and I had to buy a new pair.

this is exactly why I bought AppleCare. Although my first gen launch day AirPods give me 2 hours of audio when I’m out discing, it’s not the 5 hours I use to get easily and with how much more I’m going to use these because of ANC and Transparency, I definitely see myself getting them replaced before AppleCare is up.

—————

Got shipping notification 1 1/2 hours ago saying they will be here tomorrow. Hoping UPS tracking goes live before I go to bed tonight so I can hold them at CC.

Glad all you guys are getting your pods pretty much on release day. So mad I didn’t order them early in the day, had a lot going on at work and didn’t get to check if they were up for sale until I was home. ??

Maybe mine will move from the order in progress status and move up on my delivery date. One could only hope lol.

Interesting... just playing around with the website it does indeed look like having it delivered to a store (non-Apple) adds 1 extra day to delivery in my area too. Obviously going via the UPS access points rather than via DPD to home/business addresses

actually - I ended up editing this! I went again and noted that the delivery date on the UPS app says tomorrow. So maybe it was just a temporary thing on the system. Sometimes delivering to a business adds a day but when I ordered I ensured it would deliver on the day. Let’s hope at least!

Hello guys
Not sure if it is the right topic but I believe you’ll be ones of the first to try the product in real condition. Here is my question: is it mandatory to upgrade to Catalina to enjoy the AirPods Pro or can you use them with Mojave?
