AirPods are quite easy to lose. Way too easy to lose. If you’re the forgetful kind, you can quite easily forget the small AirPods case. And a single AirPod is easy to lose in the gym or when changing clothes. If you lost your AirPods , don’t shell out for a new pair just yet, there’s an easy trick for locating them, so long as they aren’t dead or out of range all you need is access to Apple’s Find My iPhone service. Here’s a step-by-step guide for how to track down your Missing AirPods.
Even before AirPods released publicly, a slew of companies started selling dedicated AirPods neck straps, basically a piece of wire or string that attaches to the ends of both AirPods.
It seemed no one wants to take a chance on losing their AirPods, even before trying them on!
