Will look to get these Air Pods Pro 3 to replace my 2s when they inevitably drop to under $200 at least by Black Friday if not well before. Love all the upgrades but not in crazy rush.

I'm going to hold off getting the AirPods Pro 3 until the first sale arrives on (likely) the Black Friday deals.

These will be $179 before we know it. And that's when I'll bite.

AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C were released in September 2023 at $249 and were already on sale for $189 at most retailers by Christmas of that year. So yes, they very likely will be sub-$200 this holiday season.
The USB-C version wasn’t a completely new AirPod…it had already been out for over a year. All they changed was the charge port. So no, they will not be sub-$200 this year.
