Getting AirPods Secondhand:

Why would you want to do this? Find My is based off of the location of the lat time the device these are paired with was itself connected to the Internet. It would be a matter of Security & Privacy. So, I recommend you just get a new pair.


Ungenuine AirPods:

Long with that, there are plans report on these forums of AirPods ending up being ungenuine when purchased secondhand. So, getting them from your local Apple Store or at a retailer would be most wise. If this were to happens,. then that would mean that the pawn shop scammed you.

Verifying Genuine AirPods:

  1. Get the Serial Number: Find the Serial Number of your AirPods - Apple Support
  2. Enter the Serial Number here: https://checkcoverage.apple.com/.
  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 this message.
