How to check coverage of AirPods Pro

Before we add extended warranty coverage to our AirPods Pro, lets check their current coverage first. When you are buying AirPods Pro from a third-party retailer, it is a good idea to run its serial number on Apple’s website to check when its warranty was started.

In many cases the warranty date had already started weeks or even months before you even buy the AirPods Pro. In this case you can head over to Apple’s check coverage website and manually change the purchase date after pairing your headphones to your device.

To check current coverage on AirPods Pro simply go to Apple’s Check Coverage website and enter your device’s Serial Number followed by the CAPTCHA code. You can find the serial number of your AirPods Pro on its box, in Bluetooth Settings of your iPhone and under the lid of the charging case.

After you have entered the Serial number and CAPTCHA code you should be able to see your device’s service and support coverage. To check the repairs and service coverage scroll down and check for the ‘Estimated Expiration Date’. If this date is exactly one year after the date of your purchase, then you are good to go.
