"Locating Lost AirPod: A Tale of Proximity Alerts and Precision"

Jan 28, 2024 - 6:57amSummary: After leaving the grocery store, I realized I was missing one of my AirPods. Using Apple's Find My Device feature, it showed the AirPod across the street in a parking lot. Despite the AirPod seemingly moving with me, I checked the store again and located it under a sliding door using proximity alerts. The GPS was not precise, but local proximity helped me recover the AirPod.

Transcript: So at the grocery store I took both AirPods out of my ears before the cash register and getting into my car and driving away I noticed one was missing. I used the find my device function for Apple products and it was telling me that the left AirPod was in a parking lot across the street. I'm trying to follow it around the AirPod seemed to be following me so I assumed it was in my car but to eliminate the possibility that it was at the cash register and I went back inside it actually picked up the the search function like Marco Polo and come to find out it was inside underneath the sliding door. So found it but it definitely was not accurate by GPS but it was by local proximity.
