Counterfeit AirPods Pro 2 has a warranty coverage!

This recently happened to me on a pair I purchased. I went above and beyond to do my due diligence on checking they were genuine. The final check box for my decision was the confirmed AppleCare warranty until 2024. Well low and behold they were fake and died in 3 weeks. I take them to the Genius Bar to find out they are fake.

I proceed to have a long conversation on how to tell authentic ones from real ones, then I proceed to ask him if this issue and serial number has come up in their reports before, he said yes 100’s of times and proceeds to scroll through a list of the same serial number reported for being spoofed! The tech proceeds to say it’s a car and mouse game as the pirates rip the serial off the bios and upload it to an almost perfect copy of AirPod pros 2.

Apple this is a HUGE glaring oversight and issue in your part!! Why is the serial number still showing up as covered and valid on YOUR legitimate AppleCare check website. As far as I am concerned this is a failure in your part to follow through and respond in to this issue as soon as it is none.

Your Apple Support Team was suppose to call me today at 1pm and also failed to do so. I’m beyond disappointed apple!

Why the Issue?

Because not a Lot of People have Reported it, if Any.

Do your Part: Report their to Apple. Apple barely reads these forums as it is on their own time and will. So, if something is never reported, then Apple will never receive word on it. So report it to Apple. Apple may or may not get back to you directly, but the more feedback they receive on an item, the more they will know what is going on, and what needs to be investigated.

Thank you for the screenshot.

Ungenuine AirPods:

So, where did you purchase these? If from Apple, then no worries there --all is genuine. If not from Apple, then the seller never disassociated it from their account. What about the purchase dat this is shown? Is if official? Do you recognize it?
