Recently, Apple released an update to the AirPods for Find My network support. A refurbisher was then forced to stockpile 30,000 AirPods, unable to work with them.
recent report from Insider
More specifically, the issue is related to the Find My application. For those of you who don't know, Apple recently released a new firmware update to some AirPods models, which enabled them to support the Find My network. Before that update, AirPods were not connected to the Find My network. And now, when a customer returns or trades in a set of AirPods, they often forget to unlink their AirPods from their Apple ID.
The message indicates that the AirPods are linked to a different Apple ID, and suggests there was a mix-up with someone else's AirPods, pretty much instructing the affected user to go to a support article to resolve the issue. The company we mentioned above, goTRG, is a firm that handles returns for Walmart and other retailers. According to them, eight in ten AirPods that are processed by the company's six facilities have the issue... yeah, as you can see, that's a lot of AirPods that cannot be sold again.
