Does AppleCare+ Cover Lost Or Stolen AirPods?

Apple’s AirPods might be great for a true wireless listening experience, but getting a replacement when they are lost or stolen can be expensive, and even for those enrolled in AppleCare+. Apple hardware purchases tend to come with a one-year warranty. However, Apple does offer an AppleCare+ protection plan for those who want extended coverage. For example, AppleCare+ for Headphones specifically extends the coverage to two years for AirPods or Beats purchases. However, while AppleCare+ provides coverage for both repairs and replacements, lost or stolen earbuds are an exception.
