Have no idea where you left your AirPods Pro???????? ???????? Apple's here to help.
A firmware update (via MacRumors) to the company's AirPods Pro and AirPods Max brings a cool new feature: Find My integration. After you update, you'll be able to use Apple's Find My feature on your iPhone to locate your missing headphones or earbuds.
Even better, the feature will work even if you lost your AirPods Pro or AirPods Max somewhere outside your current Bluetooth range. Previously, Find My was only able to locate them if they were nearby; otherwise it would only display their last know location.
