What Color Should the AirPods Case Be When Charging?

The color of the AirPods case when charging doesn't change, but the status light on the case does indicate its charging state. Understanding these indicators can help you manage your device efficiently.

Understanding the Status Light

When you charge your AirPods case, a status light indicates its charging state. Here's how to interpret the different colors:

Amber/Orange Light

If the AMBER/ORANGE light is on, it means the case is currently charging or has less than one full charge left. This is a sign that the battery is being replenished and may still require additional time to fully charge.

Green Light

If the LIGHT turns GREEN, this indicates that the case is fully charged. You can now use your AirPods without the need to recharge the case.

Location of the Status Light

The location of the status light differs slightly between the two models of the AirPods Pro and the standard AirPods:

AirPods Pro

The status light on AirPods Pro is located on the front of the case. This allows for easy visibility and quick assessment of the charging status.

Standard AirPods

For the standard AirPods, the status light is inside the case when you open the lid. This design may require a bit more attention to check the charging status.

What About the Color of the AirPods Case?

It's a common misconception that the color of the AirPods case changes when it's being charged. In reality, the airPods case is white and maintains this color regardless of its charging state.

The AirPods case is made of a solid piece of white plastic that does not change color. If the case gets dirty over time, a simple cleaning with a dampened microfiber cloth can restore its pristine white appearance.

Conclusion

To summarize, the color of the AirPods case when charging does not change. It remains white. The status light, however, changes color to indicate the battery's charging state: AMBER/ORANGE for charging or nearly fully charged, and GREEN for a fully charged case.
