iOS 16 will be able to warn you when you use fake AirPods

When iOS 16 becomes available, it will be able to tell whether you are using fake AirPods. The measure is one of the new features of Apple's operating system, which the firm just unveiled and offers greater customization options in addition to tools for enhancing device security.

This time, the new feature will help those who purchase counterfeit headphones and are unable to distinguish between the two. As a result, when a piece of unauthorized hardware is present in a device, the system will display a warning. The alert will contain the following information: "These headphones could not be verified as genuine AirPods and may not behave as expected".

In reality, this happens while trying to link the devices with an iPhone. Following that, choices to unpair or link the two devices appear. Additionally, a "Learn More" option that takes the user to Apple's help website also appears.

You can distinguish between counterfeit products and real ones using the new screen's recommendations and guidance. It's important to keep in mind that only headphones offered for extremely low prices and designed to resemble Apple products fall under this category. This does not affect third-party headphones. Even the rapid pairing feature of the system is active for them.

The promise of the latest AirPods Pro headphones, which have recently been unveiled, is that they would have improved functionalities and more autonomy. The headphones will be available for $250.

The new AirPods Pro is a replacement for the first noise-canceling model, which launched in October 2019. They are running Apple's new H2 processor, which the company claims offers more computing capability while using less energy. The new processor allows enhanced sound that should provide better clarity and depth when used with new low-distortion speakers. Additionally, Apple claims that the new AirPods feature "twice" the noise cancellation of the first-generation AirPods Pro.
