Went ahead and did what? I went though the steps and im not seeing why you think it’s 89 for a whole new set. If Apple did that you could pay 89 bucks for a new set, and sell your old and make money. It’s $89 per item (L/R AirPod pro, or case). And $69 for regular AirPods

“You can replace a single AirPod (left or right AirPod) or a Charging Case for a fee. Use our “Get an Estimate” tool to review potential costs if you get service directly from Apple.” - it is per item…

I believe that is $89 per item, like $89 for each AirPod and $89 for the case. So if you lost it all it would be $89 * 3 = $267, so more than buying them new

“AppleCare+ for Headphones does not cover lost or stolen AirPods”

I wish you were right about the 90 bucks to get new ones if stolen because that would be dope, but I don’t see it anywhere. Just 30 bucks for apple care and 30 bucks to get them replaced from accidental damage

Apple care is 30 for AirPods. And does not cover theft.
