Questions & Answers for AirPods (2nd generation)

Funny, just thought of the same thing, so I tried it, since the Watch charger is Qi, but simply a smaller coil (I hear that it might charge non-apple watches).

I tried it with my AirPods case, and it does not work with the Apple Watch charger. It doesn't even recognize it. I also tried it with a non-Apple Watch charger. This charger seems to recognize the case (i.e. the light comes on, and the status says charging), but it does not actually charge, although it gets hot. I suspect that the coil is too small and/or does not provide enough current, I think it's only 350mA.

You can connect your AirPods to any device that has Bluetooth capability, but connecting AirPods to an IPhone is easier since the AirPods have an H1/W1 chip inside. If you want to connect any other device that has Bluetooth capabilities, press and hold the button on the back till the light inside the case flashes white and on the device of your choosing turn on bluetooth and scan for devices on the AirPods should show up.

Yes, you should be able to use your iPhone plug to charge your AirPods.

Yes, the new AirPods are compatible with an iPhone 6s. If you go to the AirPod's product page, and scroll down, there's a section titled "Compatibility" that lists every Apple device that Airpods are compatible with. Pretty handy!

It only applies to loose lithium or lithium-ion batteries, not batteries installed in a product, so unless you have removed the batteries (they can't be removed without special tools anyway), it does not apply.

Hi! It’s actually only the wireless charging feature. Both of these on the Apple Store are the 2nd Generation, featuring the new H1 chip with “Hey Siri” and the faster connectivity and audio quality. If you look in the description and tech specs, both the $159 and $199 feature the same AirPods, with the only difference being the charging case. The wireless charging case may be purchased separately as well for $79. Hope this helps!
