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! :(

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
