How do I know if AirPods serial number is real?

To verify the authenticity of your AirPods using the serial number, you can use Apple's official service and support coverage checker. Here's how you can do it:

1. Locate the serial number of your AirPods, which can be found on the original packaging, or if they are connected to your iOS device, go to Settings > General > About and tap on your AirPods.

2. Visit Apple's Check Your Service and Support Coverage page.

3. Enter the serial number in the provided field and proceed with the verification.

If the serial number is recognized and the details match your AirPods model, then they are likely authentic. Remember that the serial number is a crucial piece of information for verifying the authenticity of Apple products. If the site does not recognize the serial number or if the details don't match, it's possible that the AirPods could be counterfeit.

Additionally, be cautious of the fourth character in the serial number. While there's a claim that it should always be a letter, this might not be a definitive rule for authenticity. The best course of action is to use the official Apple verification method as described above.

No. We can't tell you based on the serial number. The only thing you can tell from a serial number is whether the serial number is real. Counterfeit products often use real serial numbers to fool people into thinking they are buying genuine products.

Do NOT buy Apple products from unauthorized retailers or individuals you do not trust.

I strongly recommended buying AirPods directly from Apple to ensure their authenticity. In some rare cases, counterfeit AirPods can pass every test for authenticity with the exception of excepting new firmware updates from Apple.

If you insist on buying used, assessing the seller's reliability and the product's history is key. It's understandable to be wary of offers that seem too good to be true, like brand new products at significantly reduced prices.

Best of luck to you.
