It’s clear from the step above that it is one thing to make headphones that look like AirPods or AirPods Pro, but it’s what’s inside that counts and fake AirPods that do not include components like the H1 and H2 will have missing functionality. All of these problems point to there being no Apple chip inside. There were also problems recognizing the microphone. They also found that switching between a Mac and iPhone was only possible via Bluetooth menu. Legitimate AirPods would not require additional key presses. When the team at Macwelt opened their iPhone the AirPods were recognised and a message appeared, but the big difference was an instruction to press the button on the back of the case in order for the earphones to be recognised. Without these chips none of these features will be available to you. In addition, the H1 adds the ability to launch Siri by voice and Audio Sharing, while the H2 adds active noise cancellation and the Adaptive transparency mode. If this doesn’t happen it’s an indication that your AirPods are fake. When you open the charging case, a nearby iPhone should immediately recognise and connect to the AirPods. These chips control the Bluetooth connection, meaning that the AirPods can switch between devices seamlessly and ensuring that AirPods are recognised by and synced immediately to an iPhone, iPad or Mac.
