I. Introduction
If you’re an AirPods user, you know how easy it is to misplace your tiny AirPods case. It can be frustrating when you can’t find it, especially when you need to use your AirPods urgently.
In this article, we’ll provide you with various tips for finding your lost AirPods case. We’ll cover everything from searching around your house to contacting Apple Support.
II. Search around the house
The first and most basic step in finding your lost AirPods case is to search around your house. Start by retracing your steps and checking all the places where your AirPods might have been used.
Check your sofa cushions, bedside tables, and laundry baskets. Don’t forget to search in less obvious spots, like under your bed or behind your TV.
Remember to be patient and thorough in your search as often the cases can get lost in unexpected corners.
III. Use the Find My app
If you have an iPhone with iOS 14.3 or later, you can use the Find My app to locate your AirPods case.
To use the app, open it and select the “Devices” tab. Find your AirPods case on the list and tap “Play Sound.” If your case is within the range of your iPhone, you’ll hear a sound coming from it.
Keep in mind that this app has its limits. It may not show you the exact location if your AirPods case is out of range. It also won’t be able to help you if your AirPods are out of battery or not connected to your iPhone.
IV. Look in the car
If you use your AirPods frequently on the go, it’s possible that your AirPods case got left in your car.
Check the glove compartment, cup holders, and under the seats. You might be surprised where it will turn up.
For future prevention of loss, consider assigning a specific spot in your car for your AirPods case, so you will know where to look for it the next time you’re out and about.
V. Ask friends or family
If you’ve searched everywhere and still can’t find your AirPods case, it’s time to ask for help. Ask your family or friends if they could help you locate it.
Make sure to ask politely without being too demanding or accusatory. Be sure to offer a reward if someone helps you find the case.
VI. Contact Apple Support
If you’ve checked everywhere and you still can’t find your AirPods case, it’s time to contact Apple Support. They may be able to help you locate it or offer you a replacement for a fee.
You can contact Apple Support through their website, by phone, or by messaging them through their social media channels.
Keep in mind that there are limits to what Apple can do. They may not be able to locate your AirPods case if it’s out of range of your iPhone. Also, be prepared to provide proof of purchase and other documentation before they can help you.
VII. Check online marketplaces
If all other options have failed, you can try searching online marketplaces for a used or lost AirPods case. Check popular websites such as eBay, Amazon, or Craigslist.
However, be careful when buying a used case. Ensure that what you purchase is authentic and not stolen. Always ask for detailed photographs of the case and look for signs of wear and tear or damage.
VIII. Purchase a new one
If you have tried everything else and still cannot locate your AirPods case, the last resort is to purchase a new case. You can buy one directly from Apple’s website or in an Apple retail store.
Keep in mind that the cost of a new case ranges from $69 to $199, depending on the model.
To prevent future loss, consider purchasing a case with a keychain attachment or using a case with a distinctive design that will be easy to spot in your belongings.
IX. Conclusion
Losing your AirPods case is frustrating, but with these tips, you can increase your chances of finding it. Always remember to search thoroughly, use the Find My app, check your car, ask for help, and contact Apple Support if necessary.
