Once the connection breaks - whether due to distance or a dead battery - Find My can no longer update the coordinates of your AirPods, AirPods Pro, or AirPods Max. And since it relies on other devices, Find My would have to be already turned on for the iPhone, iPad, or Mac that was last connected to the AirPods. Instead, Find My tracks their location when they are connected to your other Apple devices. Apple's suite of wireless Bluetooth headphones has no way to communicate with the internet independently. Unfortunately, AirPods, AirPods Pro, and AirPods Max are omitted from many of these advanced tracking features. What's even more impressive is that it can show the last known location before the device's battery dies and can leverage other people's Apple products via Bluetooth to locate your device when Wi-Fi or cellular data is unavailable. Even a Wi-Fi-only iPad could be live-tracked if you lost it somewhere with an internet connection. So if you lose an iPhone, you can use Find My to find its current location quickly, so long as it's powered on and connected to Wi-Fi or a cellular network.

Unfortunately, these aren't glitches, as some Apple problems turn out to be.
