When Apple announced that it will release AirPods- the wireless earphones for iOS device, the iPhone holders waited desperately for it. Apple always remains innovative with the ideas for its services and products; it again launched its new AirPods earphones which do not require Bluetooth connection to connect with the iPhone. It is obvious to wait for AirPods and stay in queue to buy the brand new accessory with impressive sound quality.
These quality earphones are so light in weight and comfortable that they offer a fantastic experience. But with these qualities, there are some disadvantages as well. Because of the compact design, it is really easy to misplace AirPods. And many of the users have reported that they have lost or misplaced.

- If the AirPods are powered on, then it will come Online, or if it is off, Offline will appear on the screen.
- Green color indicates that it is Online and connected with the iPhone.
