Interesting idea. I had read elsewhere that they don’t have a way of checking battery percentage on AirPods, like they do for other devices. I’ll have to consider carefully how to proceed.

That was a lucky outcome! Mine are charging fine, the only potential defect I’ve noticed is that they’re very slow to connect at times.

I’ll report back!

Reminders weren’t syncing between iPhone and iPad for a few hours after updating, but seems to have fixed itself overnight. The new grocery list sorting also didn’t work right away but now does.

I really like that it’s now easier to switch between regular tabs and private tabs in Safari.

I was having the same issue. Rebooting my HomePods made the update show up.
