When Apple announced iOS 16, one of the functions was to identify whether the AirPods headphones connected to the iPhone were counterfeit. When the system found that the AirPods were fake, a warning window would pop up that the AirPods could not be verified, saying “Cannot verify whether these headphones are genuine or not. AirPods, may not work properly”.
When the user clicks “Learn More” in the warning window, they will be taken to the introduction page of how to identify the original AirPods on Apple’s official website. This arrangement is definitely bad news for manufacturers of counterfeit goods, because users only need to connect to the iPhone to know that they have bought fake goods. However, with the launch of the official version of iOS 16 early last week, local manufacturers in Chinese media have successfully cracked , fake AirPods can avoid the inspection of the new version of iOS.
The report quoted the latest test of a local tech blog, and found that the fake AirPods Pro using the Wisdom chip solution can perfectly crack the fake identification of iOS 16 after OTA upgrade, while the other loda chip used by a copycat manufacturer cannot be cracked for the time being. . Although iOS 16 added the recognition function, Apple has not completely blocked fakes, and users can still connect the iPhone to use it as a normal Bluetooth headset.
