Apple Quietly Updates AirPod Cleaning Guidance, Recommends Belkin Kit
Apple has published new instructions for cleaning its AirPods 3 and AirPods 4 models, recommending the use of a third-party Belkin AirPods cleaning kit. The company's guidelines specify the materials needed to clean the earbuds, including micellar water and distilled water, and provide step-by-step procedures for each model. Apple's move suggests a desire to standardize cleaning procedures for its popular wireless earbuds.
- By issuing detailed instructions on how to clean AirPods, Apple is exerting control over a common issue that affects many of its customers, potentially improving overall user experience and reducing support queries.
- Will the endorsement of a specific Belkin kit lead to a proliferation of similar products in the market, creating a new category of accessories tailored to Apple's devices?
