Context
Why does this story matter?
Apple has always refrained from revealing the battery capacity of its products. And usually, a certification site/regulatory listing makes the information public.
The second-generation AirPods Pro was announced alongside the iPhone 14 line-up on September 7. Four weeks later, we are now learning about its battery capacity, thanks to 3C certification.
The earbuds bear a marginally higher battery capacity than the last version.
