How the gap has moved
Across the 4 days we have held a price for both, the gap between them was widest at $129.00 on Sep 13 and narrowest at $129.00 on Sep 13. AirPods Pro 3 has been the cheaper of the two on every one of those days. Today it is $129.00.
Measured from our own readings, carried forward day by day — a price stands until we record a different one. It starts on the first day we held a price for both, which is later than the day we began tracking one of them.
