AirPods are one of Apple’s most interesting products, offering best-in-class noise cancellation and serving as a hearing aid. Despite everything they do well, I have one annoyance that could be an easy software fix.
Right now, if your AirPods need to charge and you plug your iPhone in, you’ll get a notification to also charge your AirPods. This reminder has saved me many times. However, AirPods often end up dead in the case because something got between the pins of your charging case and one of your AirPods.
It seems obvious to add a notification to tell users that one of their AirPods isn’t charging. If one AirPod is in the case and the other isn’t detected in-ear, Apple could alert the user to adjust it or check for obstructions. This simple fix would prevent ruined walks or commutes.
Hopefully, Apple can implement such a feature in a later iOS update. Right now, the latest-generation AirPods Pro 3 are on sale for $179. My favorite Apple accessory recommendations include the Anker Ultra-Slim MagSafe Battery Pack and Logitech MX Master 4 Mouse for Mac.
