"are my airpods real i'm confused: so my mom bought some airpods off a friend and i had airpods 2nd gen i ordered off amazon and they said they were assembled in vietnam but i just realized that my new airpods 3rd gen say 'designed by apple in california assembled in china' and they always are connecting and disconnecting from my device like when i barely move my head they disconnect"

All is Correct: These are indeed designed in California in the U.S.; They are assembled elsewhere.

Troubleshooting Genuine AirPods:

A. Start here: If you see an alert that says "AirPods Mismatch" - Apple Support

B. Verifying Genuine AirPods:

1. Get the Serial Number: Find the Serial Number of your AirPods - Apple Support
2. Enter the Serial Number here: Check Your Service and Support Coverage - Apple Support
3. View the Results: If all shows up as an AirPod, then you are fine. If not, then these are fake, and that is likely why you are getting the issue of connectivity.

C. A Glitch in Apple's Device Database?

I would contact Apple Support, asking them if there is a glitch in their user database. You should not be getting this message, if they have already been repaired. If these are used, then that may be why this is occurring.
