Find My iPhone

As cool as cutting the cord can be, there's

going to be a time when you misplace
one or both AirPods. Don't panic! Apple
has something set up for just this
situation.

On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:

1. Launch the Find My iPhone app.

2. Sign in with your Apple ID and

password.

3. Tap your AirPods in the listing.

your Apple ID.

2. Open Find iPhone.

3. Click All Devices.

4. Select your AirPods.

From here, you should see a map

showing an approximate location of your
missing buds. If the AirPods are on,
you'll see a green dot on the map if
they're powered on and a gray dot if
they're out of battery, powered off or out
of range of the tracker.

If the dot is green, that means you can

use the app to make the buds play a
sound. If both buds are lost, you can
choose to mute either the left or the right
so you can track them down one at a
time. If the dot is gray, the app won't be
able to find your buds, and you might
have to consider forking over the $159
for a new pair or $69 for a single bud.
