This week, Apple released iOS 10.2.1, which contains security updates for the iPhone and iPad. But for folks using AirPods, a more interesting new feature will apparently be included in an upcoming update, iOS 10.3. A beta version was released to developers this week and it has an interesting new Find My AirPods feature. As Juli Clover of MacRumors reports, the Find my iPhone app will be updated with an option to show you the approximate location of AirPods if you lose them and, perhaps more helpful, the ability to play a high pitched sound through the AirPods to help you to locate them.
