    I like to be able to reduce the distance until a notification is activated! The 100m default is way too far!!

    All they need to do is have it show as left behind when out of bluetooth range.

    This feature makes no sense to me, I never leave my Airpods behind.

    P. S. – I don’t have Airpods ????

    0:40 so it will not work on iPhone 11 models ????! It also has the same U1 chip. Or u made a mistake by saying 12 instead of 11?

      November 19, 2021 at 4:01 pm

      We checked with Apple and they said it only works on iPhone 12 or later but the U1 chip is in the iPhone 11.

      @CNET what seriously ☹️! Why is Apple wantedly not giving iPhone 11 series this feature. I have an AirPods Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max. This feature would have been so useful for me!

      This feature works with AirTags on iPhone X. I have it enabled for my keys. Weird it doesn’t work with AirPods and iPhone X

    As of today’s date I have the most recent update, 15.1, on iphone and no update prompts for airpods. I do not have this option for my airpods pro on my iphone xr.

    • CNET

      November 19, 2021 at 4:49 pm

      Your iPhone XR is why it won’t work.

  11. Prince Tech

    November 19, 2021 at 5:35 pm

    It also work on iPhone 11 series

  12. Olinda

    November 19, 2021 at 5:49 pm

    I’ve been notified 385 times that I’ve left my AirPods behind when my AirPods are right next to me in the car. ????

  13. Jose Martinez Soto

    November 19, 2021 at 5:59 pm

    There’s a problem with your video iPhone 11 Pro does have U1 chip

    • CNET

      November 20, 2021 at 3:40 am

      Yes it does but Apple said the Notify When Left Behind only works on iPhone 12 or later. The video says this feature only works on iPhone 12 or later

  14. Phoenix817

    November 19, 2021 at 6:07 pm

    Why does the feature work with my airtag on an iPhone X but not with my airpod pros? How is it any different from how it works with the air tags?

  18. Tweet Domecillo

    November 19, 2021 at 8:18 pm

    Boo on Apple I guess my second generation buds are not important. Just another reason to go Android.

  21. BahamianLily

    November 19, 2021 at 11:46 pm

    0:41 – If it “only works on iPhone 12 or later”, why do I have it available on my 6S Plus?

  22. Mark B

    November 20, 2021 at 12:09 am

    It’s not’s fault that older models don’t have the U1 Chip, calm down.

  23. AndyG1714

    November 20, 2021 at 12:12 am

    Pretty sure iPhone 11 also has the U1 chip, just saying…

  24. murseligames

    How are you saying that it need U1 chip and iphone 11 series have U1 chip and then you said that it only works with iphone 12 or later????

  28. Tim

    November 20, 2021 at 8:01 pm

    This feature is constantly false positive’s and negative’s

  29. Chris Teasdale

    November 21, 2021 at 12:29 am

    Will it alert you in DND or ringer switch in mute position? I am not glued to my iPhone screen I think it should be a more significant alert like an alarm going off for folks they don’t constantly check each alert their iPhone makes instantly.
