How much will individual replacement AirPod earbuds cost? We've asked Apple for pricing and will update this story when we get a response.
But going off the total AirPods price, which includes two earbuds, the charging case and a Lightning cable, we hope each one is no more than $55 per earbud ($110 for a pair of earbuds + $30 for the case + $20 for the Lightning cable = $160 total).
