Apple’s Airpods seems to be getting new features, the public release of iOS 15 would bring Airpods the Find my device. This feature is already available for the more expensive AirPods pro, and iPhones.
An iOS 15 beta code seen by 9to5Mac shows that Apple will use the same Bluetooth technology to locate Airpods when nearby. Although this doesn’t allow a lock function in case of theft, someone can connect the AirPods to other devices.
The Airpods Beta iOS internal code says,
These AirPods are linked to your Apple ID. Removing them will allow another person to configure Find My Network. […] Removing these AirPods will allow another person to configure Find My Network and it will no longer be linked to your Apple ID.
Airpods Max and Pro owners can now register their headphones to their Apple ID. Unfortunately, Airpods first-gen and second-gen users won’t have this functionality in the next update.
Airpods Max users can trigger the find my Airpod functionality by holding the noise cancellation and the digital crown together for 12 seconds. This will unpair and pair the headphones from/to the Find My app.
For Airpods Pro users, the process is a bit quirky. Holding your fingers to the speaker grills while pressing the controls stem multiple times should do the trick.

Apple recently launched its Spatial audio and Lossless on Android, Apple Music can now stream songs in the new technology.
But there’s a catch, your android phone has to support Atmos, for spatial audio to work. And only high-end phones seem to be supporting this feature.
Apple Music’s latest update supports both spatial audio and lossless quality streaming services.
Apple spatial audio promises to deliver an immersive never before felt audio experience relying heavily on Dolby Atmos. Spatial Audio leverages the user’s head movement, music plays in space relative to the user’s body.
There are currently thousands of songs on the Apple Music platform that supports this technology, with hundreds to join in the coming days.
It’s sad that Airpods first-gen and second-gen users won’t have this find my device functionality. Just Maybe the rumoured Airpods 3 would have the nice functionality. This would prompt users to upgrade their Airpods to the 3 gen headphones.
