Did we lose our Airpods?
Sometimes when people cannot find their Airpods, they believe that they have lost them. Because of its small size, it even gets difficult to locate, and therefore, people purchase a new pair of Airpods. While that may sound easy to you, there is something even easier than that which is using the ‘Find my iPhone’ feature. This is a special feature by Apple to find your Apple devices.
Though this feature can only be properly used if your Airpods are within your Bluetooth range. This special feature from Apple can be very beneficial as you would prevent spending money for no reason which can be saved and also would not have to go through the process of pairing two different Airpods.
