My son got the AirPods 4 this Christmas, the ones without noise cancelling. It seemed like a good idea since he does not want nor need NC. Turns out, NC is the least of your problems. Never, under any circumstance buy the non-NC model. They should not exist. 1/

The first issue is charging. He also has a 3-in-1 MagSafe charger stand, and it will not charge his AirPods. 2/

The second issue is FindMy. It shows up in the app as a regular set of AirPods, even with the «Play Sound» button. But when you click it, and it will never work. No warning, no error, nothing. You need to go online and find out that they lack the UWB and Speaker, so will never make a sound. 3/

On top of this, it doesn’t support FindMy at all, and will not show you their location. Sometimes it shows your phones location for the last time you connected them with Bluetooth. But not consistently. 4/4
