Apple had just recently announced the highly anticipated second generation of its AirPods Pro 2 truly wireless earbuds. But similar to the iPhone 14 lineup, it appears that even the new hearables are facing bugs soon after their launch. So let’s have a look.
A number of users have been complaining about a bug that triggers the battery replacement notifications on the Find My app. This bug affects nearby devices when the battery of the AirPods Pro earbuds or the MagSafe Charging Case is low. For those unaware, the AirPods Pro 2 was arrives with enhanced Find My functionality from its U1 chip for Precision Finding and even sharing the battery levels at all times.
So, it is likely that this new feature on the second generation AirPods Pro might be the cause behind this new bug. Looking at the notification, users are urged to “replace the battery on soon.” Although, it is technically not possible to replace the batteries on the AirPods Pro and one just needs to charge the device. In other words, users facing this issue might not be aware that the notification is for the AirPods Pro 2 since the item are referred to as simply “left,” “right,” and “Case.”
Notably, the notifications also appears to be similar to the one used for the AirTag when its CR2032 battery is almost empty and needed to be replaced. Meaning, there is also a chance that the Find My app could be confusing the AirPods Pro 2 with the AirTag smart tracker. So, users do not have to worry about their new second generation AirPods Pro being a faulty unit.
