You can now track your precious little Airpods if lost
But they’re certainly not flawless.
One source claimed that it may actually be more effective then find my iPhone because most iPhone thieves know to turn the phone off the minute they snatch it.
Rumors about iOS 10.3 first began leaking at the end of 2016. According to a report by The Wall Street Journal, Apple is adding an AirPod support to the Find My iPhone app through the release of iOS 10.3.
The app will have the ability to find the current or last known location of their headphones and their case. It’s not now clear whether iOS 10.3 will add AirPods to the existing Find My iPhone app, or whether there will be a separate “Find My AirPods” tool.
The problem: These pricey ($159!), magically tiny devices have no built-in Global Positioning System connection so you can’t nail down their whereabouts when they forcefully fling themselves from your ears. A while later, Apple announced that you could buy a replacement AirPod at $69 from the company, should you lose the originals.
iPhone subscribers on Verizon can now make and answer calls from any iCloud connected device. If they’re connected to a Mac, for instance, the finder will request location data from computer’s positioning hardware. The app has been nicknamed “Find My AirPods”. You also will notice that the CarPlay feature has added shortcuts and Maps have included charging stations for your electronic vehicle. This software will be ideal to find the headphones if we have left them forgotten, for example, on the sofa, between the cushions. But it’s good enough to point frantic AirPod owners in the right direction. So in the next update Apple is introducing a couple of new features for users. The Podcast app will get a widget alongside the replacement of the HFS+ file with the APFS file system. Listed under an iCloud setting, this profile will be linked iCloud, iTunes & App Store, and Family Sharing, and will help yu see how your iCloud storage space is being used.
