Can You Locate Stolen AirPods by Serial Number?

Have you ever misplaced or had your AirPods stolen and wondered if it's possible to track them down using their serial number? The short answer is yes, but there are some limitations.

When your AirPods are connected to your iPhone or iPad, the serial number can be easily found in Settings > General > About > AirPods. However, once your phone is taken and out of range, it might be readily utilized by others. This raises a question - can you locate AirPods by serial number?

Unfortunately, it's not as simple as just looking up the serial number online or using a tracking device. The AirPods Case has a pair button that allows others to connect to the AirPods, making it possible for them to use your stolen AirPods.

So, is it still possible to use stolen AirPods? Yes, if the whole set is taken, it may be simply utilized. However, if the AirPods are defective due to a manufacturer's fault, they will be replaced under warranty. To check on its warranty status, Apple needs your iPod's serial number.

Interestingly, there is no serial number on the headphones themselves. If you need to find the serial number, it can be located on the underside of the lid or in the original packaging next to the barcode.

In conclusion, while finding a stolen AirPod by its serial number may not be as straightforward as we would like, it's still possible to use them if they are taken and connected to another device. Just remember to always keep your AirPods safe and secure to avoid any potential losses or theft.
