Apple AirPods 2nd generation are spectacularly good. You can read the first review of the new earbuds here on Forbes. But now, out of nowhere, a super-cute feature has appeared.
As mentioned in the review, you can now have your AirPods case engraved with your Memoji, for instance. I didn’t do this because, well, to be honest, my Memoji looks strikingly similar to Apple CEO Tim Cook’s (I guess it’s the hair) and I just wouldn’t want to pick his up by mistake.

Apple AirPods Pro 2nd generation as they’re actually named, allow the user to engrave the case more effectively than before. Not just with a name or something like that but with an Animoji of your choice or your very own Memoji.
But it now turns out that this detail (seriously, only Apple) shows up onscreen when you’re pairing your AirPods Pro 2nd-gen with your iPhone.
Apple has always had this attention to detail: when you pair an Apple Watch with your iPhone, it shows on the screen of the Watch which model and size it is.
Similarly, when you pair your AirPods Pro with your Apple device in the slick, fast pairing procedure, it will show your particular engraving onscreen. How cool is that?
Apple gave the game away on its own website, on the very last part of its page about the new AirPods Pro. Sure, it’s not as important as the improved audio quality, better battery life and audio personalization, but it’s still pretty neat.
