I just bought this phone last month, in November. Is it possible that their warranty can cover a new pair. I don't have applecare+ because it wasn't offered when I bought it at my phone company, I only have insurance through them.
iPhone XR
Standard warranty does not cover lost EarPods. Perhaps your carrier's insurance does? Apple can sell you a new pair if not.
Basically, you can get replacement AirPods from Apple, but they won't be free. Each piece (left & right AirPod, and the AirPod case) will come at a reduced price ... but all three would cost more than a completely new set.
Currently, out-of-warranty prices in the U.S. are: $69 for each AirPod & $69 for the charging case.
See if any of the following articles can help:
They’re not airpods, though. They are earpods, with a lightening connector.
Oops, sorry about that.
Your iPhone (& included Apple-branded accessories) would automatically be covered by Apple's 1-year hardware warranty. You can still purchase AppleCare+ or AppleCare Protection Plan within 60 days of the phone's purchase date. It's the latter that covers lost or stolen items for an additional fee.
I would suggest that you contact your local Apple Store or Apple Authorized Reseller to see if they can provide you a replacement set.

I lost the earpods that came with my iPhone XR that I bought last month, can I get a replacement?
