Serial numbers are easy to duplicate so even if the authenticator says it's a genuine Apple serial number then all you know is that the serial number is a real one. The only way to be sure that your AirPods are genuine is to buy them from an Apple store or Apple-approved store.

Probably because what you purchased are likely counterfeits.


Does that fact really matter to you?
