  • @chotkicom

    If the orange LED on your AirPods Pro 2 case doesn't light up when you tap on it, try this: First, tap once on the right side of the case (somewhere between the LED and the right edge of the case), and then quickly tap again, this time on the left side of the case (between the LED and the left edge of the case). Make sure to press a little bit harder when you tap, don't just touch the case. Tapping directly on the LED doesn't light it up for me - I tried multiple times on my Pro 2 2023 model. But these right/left taps always make it light up for 2-3 seconds. The tap sequence is important: it works with a right tap followed by a left tap, but not the other way around. Hope this helps!

    Hello, i just got my original airpods pro 2, but i am not able to purchase apple care. It says something about update purchase date. Do you know how to solve this and do you think apple care is worth it for airpods?

    • @idiscovertech
      @idiscovertech  6 місяців тому +1

      I think you need to add the purchase date on Apple’s website. On the Apple serial number lookup website. I bought Apple care for my AirPods Pro 1, but I have not bought it for my AirPods 3 or AirPods Pro 2. I don’t think it’s worth it if you take care of your earbuds. You will only notice the battery degradation that starts after around 2 years of usage. So this passes the Apple care date. I’m not sure if you’re able to extend the Apple care to more than 2 years. I think you can only can the battery replaced if it’s 80% or under

      Issue resolved! Turns out, I had been using the wrong charger all along. Instead of the appropriate one, I was using my old Samsung USB-C charger, which only powered up the AirPods themselves, neglecting to charge the case. It seems it lacked the necessary power. I've since switched to the charger from my PC, which boasts far more strength, and now everything is functioning perfectly.

      @ A reseller who a friend of mine recommended and who I have bought from before. Precision finding works perfectly in every way (with case and earbuds together, with case isolated, or with earbuds isolated - Green Arrow Screen with Case, and Blue Screen with each earbud)
      Everything is perfect except the tapping doesn’t make the case light up. Maybe they actualized this?
      The firmware also updated itself after charging the airpods, to Version 7B21. It was at Version 6B34 initially, but it updated as soon as I started charging the case with airpods in it. I assume this means they’re real? Not sure
      What do you think?

Last week I ordered the Jenny 5.2TB and I received 2 days ago, I can tell you that it's so amazing how close manufacturer have gone to reproduce the original AP PRO 2.

    Some great information here. None of the clones have real iCloud sync/hand off but some can connect simultaneously to multiple devices via Bluetooth. Is that a maximum of 2 items? My current ones only connect to one at a time. Do I need real ones to go from iPhone to iPad to Apple Watch seamlessly?
    I’d also say that buying second hand AirPods is very risky and probably not very hygienic. If you want cheap ones go straight for a good quality clone. Mine sound really good and ANC is excellent. It’s just the issue above that’s a bit of a bummer. If I get real ones I’ll spend the proper money and get them from Apple for peace of mind!
