Reply to comment by GrreggWithTwoRs in NYPD seeks 4 suspects who stole Apple Air Pod Max headphones off of at least 21 people by Bigrod1965

The new AirPods Pro are now tied to your Apple ID and are useless once stolen. They can’t be paired. I thought the Maxs’ were too but maybe not.

I guess you’d steal them and sell them to people who wouldn’t realize they were locked until much later.

That’s interesting. I wonder how it works if say you want to use it for a while then give it to somebody like a family member as a hand me down.

If it’s only on the new pros then it’ll take a year or two to filter. I imagine most people still have the old pros..I’ve had mine for 1.5 years and I’m hoping to get at least another year out of them
