Apple AirPods Pro, AirPods Max get the new Find My feature
India Today
Apple has introduced firmware updates for AirPods and as it turns out, these contain the much-awaited Find My location tracking through crowdsourcing. A network of Apple devices will work to transmit the location of lost items such as AirPods, even when they are not in the Bluetooth range of their primary device.
Apple has started rolling out an important update to some of the AirPods models under its lineup. The updates come in the form of new firmware versions for Apple’s wireless headphones and bring the latest ability under its Find My network. Most notably, this means that these AirPods will now get support for Apple's Find My network, much like what was first showcased by the company at its WWDC event in June this year.
During the event, Apple had announced that two models of the AirPods, namely AirPods Pro and AirPods Max, will be able to benefit from its Find My network of devices with the arrival of the iOS 15. As the new iOS has now reached users, some of the features are still making their way to the public and the new Find My functionality on the AirPods was recently spotted as being the latest one.
