How to know if my AirPods Pro are genuine?

Hello, so I am confused. Is model A2618 legit or not? I bought a pair with that model number. The reply at the top of this thread indicates they're fake. An Apple Support rep told me via chat that they were genuine, however, she was not very convincing. They do almost nothing seamlessly, unlike my 1st gen AirPods Pro. I'm constantly having to reset them. Plus the mic is terrible.

It’s not fake. It’s just an older version of the airpod pro 2 which was released earlier sept. 2022. The latest release sept. 2023 has different model number.

A2618 îs fake?

A2618 is the model number of case

an Apple rep told me that

as my actual AirPods have a2931 printed on them

and lists A2618 in Bluetooth settings

I was buying a replacement when I noticed different model numbers

So I called Apple..

airpods pro a2618 is fake. I bought one online checked serial number looked ok, but microphone doesn't work

Hey Mjb2764,

Unfortunately there are a lot of fake Apple products out there, and as you said there is not an AirPods Pro 2nd Generazione that have A2618. The genuine model numbers include: A2931, A2699, A2698. Another way to check if your AirPods are fake is by checking the Firmware. You can do this by going in the same area where you see the Model Number to where it says "Version." The current firmware version is 5E133. If your AirPods do not have this current version then that could also be a sign that they are not genuine.

Sorry bro! :(

Packing box:A2931,A2699,A2698

Charging compartment:A2700

Headphones:A2931

Mobile phone connection display: A2618, 5A374

Regarding the model issue, I think it’s ok as long as the model and serial numbers of the packaging box, charging case, and earphones are consistent. As for the mobile phone display, it is speculated that it is a problem with the official system firmware, and there is no need to suspect the headset itself.

I have the same case, Is this legit or not ?

I wasn’t sure as well but found this on their website Find the serial number of your AirPods – Apple Support (UK)

As you can see, they put an image as an example were the model number is actually A2618 so it must be genuine

Yes they are as much as I’ve heard

just send them back :)

They are legit, please check your warranty and agreement number then verify with apple team

I bought mine in June at an Apple store here in my city.

In the settings it is with the warranty and everything is fine, but its model number is A2618 and its Version is 4E71.

I was walking through my social networks when a person asked the same as me, at the same time I decided to look in all Apple support channels, because the person and I have the same doubt (her AirPods Pro were bought in August). I would really like to know if my AirPods Pro are original or not, because in the settings it is under warranty and it goes until June 19, 2025

If you bought them outside of Apple there is always the chance that they are fakes…even if the serial number is a “real” one.
