How to know the new AirPods Pro that comes with the new "MagSafe" case?

Don't think it's here yet?

I saw Switch has it on shopee, but how to tell based on the packaging? See the fine print? laugh.gif

I think have see the picture on the box, if its with a taller/thinner case, then thats with magsafe...without magsafe it'll be the usual wider/shorter picture..

Want to avoid the hassle of picking up the wrong thing, then if want return kenot d coz opened and etc.

Guess gotta ask the staff and check properly on the spot.

The new Airpods also don't have plastic, I guess. Gotta keep an eye out for the plastic laugh.gif

He sapu d, bought both same time.

He don't like the AirPods and I was next to him, so just angkut on the spot laugh.gif

QUOTE(micwin1437 @ Nov 8 2021, 06:07 PM)
did you check whether your friend buy from local apple authorised reseller?
if below 700.00, most of the seller selling fake Airpods Pro in shopee and lazada.....
*
It's after claiming shopee coin. Original price is around 799 (I think) before the coins.

And the device is recognised on Apple and warranty on the thing shows up on the apple account, so I assume it's 100% genuine.

Can you check with your friend from which seller?
the Shopee link?

please refer to the thread below; able to verify serial number on apple website but in the end the serial number no longer valid after a while.

https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/5210548
Even fake AirPods from using genuine serial number now.....
even have noise cancellation and transparency and spatial audio

can you check the Firmware version of the AirPods Pro you having now?

And another way to double confirm its genuine, using MacBook to check the manufacturer

4A400 is the firmware I am seeing from the I button on the iPhone.

How to check using MacBook? Something new I guess.

check with MacBook :

monterey OS
make sure the AirPods Pro is connected to the MacBook
1. click apple logo (top left)
2. about this Mac
3. system report
4. audio
5. select "AirPods Pro"
6. see the listed manufacturer

if you see Manufacturer is Apple Inc then its ok but if you see Ericsson then its fake.
*
Apple inc indeed

Guess legit check approved biggrin.gif

Hi Guys, want to check with you guys on airpod pro with wireless charging. during the 11.11 sales in lazada i got about RM 658 after rm 70 lazada bonus,

Just got it today, i check the serial no inside, and it can be found in apple warranty website. so i thinks its original. but the price seem too good to be true. how to check is it counterfeit or original besides the serial no in the box and at the device?

thanks

Link the seller here

2nd - Check if you are the latest firmware

3rd - Use macbook to check the manufacturer.

https://9to5mac.com/2021/11/16/airpods-pro-...update-mystery/

If can update to this latest firmware, it's likely genuine.

If can't please initiate refund.

And no, Apple does not offer international warranty for airpods. Looks suspicious.

I have reported the store for using paid reviewer (all their review is fake, review by paid reviewer) and selling fake product.

Please check whether the seller sales link still exist?

I saw the news got latest firmware update for AirPods Pro but I don’t see my AirPods being updated.

And the instructions online does not seems to help 😂

Not sure about wireless charging but can refer to regnessem as he have a unit in hand, maybe he can check for you.

but I guess wireless charging should work as wireless charging is so simple to pull off if they can even get the serial number to to be valid for a certain period of time on apple warranty website (but after a few months it will not be valid anymore.... biggrin.gif )

latest firmware : 4A402

there is no definite way to update but please refer to quote from Gear Patrol post below :

If your AirPods or AirPods Pro are not update to date, you can try to initiate the firmware update manually. You need to make sure they're paired with your iPhone or iPad and inside their charging case. Then plug them in so they are being charged, either by a Lightning cord or a wireless charging pad, and the open the lid of the AirPods Pro. (If you have AirPods Max and they are not up to date, you need to make sure they're connected to your iPhone or iPad and charging. )

Unfortunately, there isn't a button to manually update AirPods, AirPods Pro or AirPods Max; you kind of have to just follow the above steps and wait. After waiting a few minutes they should update on their own.

Please update us if you manage to update to the latest firmware ya.....

I used my airpods pro for a bit.

Checked the firmware, it's updated to the latest one already.

But so far like no difference jer

Agree, not worth to be panic over authentication of the product for the 50-100 bucks off…rather get it from official Apple website or AASP, the buying experience and peace of mind is priceless…

If really want to be cheap, rajin2 shop at lazada and shopee and earn coins.

When sales time use the coin to reduce the price.

Or spam grab pay until can redeem free iPhone.

That’s the wiser way, instead of trying to just save 50 and end up with a headache 😂

Hi,any rumors about new AirPods Pro to be release? Current one 4.5h seem bit outdated. Was comparing with Sony WF1000xm4 however I got Sony WH1000xm3 already so might go apple eco system.
*
Next year likely.

And sound equality wise, XM4 > AirPods Pro.

If you really want an alternative, B&O EQ seems to be a good “upgrade”.

At a higher price, of course 😂

Finally got my hands on this baby,

Sound wise, much better than the airpods pro

Better battery life, noice cancelling, same h1 chip features, overall a winner for me.

Only downside is airpods pro mic is slightly better

How’s the fit?

I find all this tips hit and miss for some.

Might work for person A but might not work for person B :/

im also thinking to get a new one.
My airpods pro 1 year +, and the battery seems wanky. I talk on the phone 3~4 hours a day with it. only for calls though. last time it used to warn me before the battery dies, now it just dies. xD Battery only lasts about 1 - 2 hours on call per side.

Sony Wf1000xm4 mic ok?
*
B&O EQ can be considered too, if you are keen with SQ.

QUOTE(sainod @ Nov 29 2021, 10:28 AM)
I actually bought from a similar store.

Firmware doesnt upgrade not sure why. Find my airpod works theres beep that comes out.

How do you identify its fake?

If firmware doesn’t upgrade, high chance you bought a fake.

If you have a MacBook, there’s steps to check the manufacturer.

And finally, AirPods no international warranty so I think the seller looks suspicious already in the first place.

790 is still less than 899 of the RRP of the AirPods Pro, thou it goes below 790 during sales and voucher + shopee coins 😂
