AirPods will link with an Apple ID in iOS 15 to enable Find My support

We’ve known for a while that iOS 15 will grant succor to all of those who have lost, and lamented, their AirPods. Those true wireless earphones are small enough that it’s easy to misplace them, and desirable enough that some folks would want to pinch them.

Even if they’re not connected to your phone, you should still be able to find them on the map via the Find My network.

That means that, should some unscrupulous type find a pair on the street, they can remove them from the network.
