Apple has said customers who lose one of the new wireless Airpod earphones will be charged \u00a365<\/a> for a replacement.<\/p>\n

The devices went on sale via Apple’s website this week and a pair costs \u00a3159 in the UK.<\/p>\n

They are sold with a charging case and connect to Apple devices such as iPhones and Macs via Bluetooth.<\/p>\n

One tech analyst said the Airpods would be “easier to lose” than conventional, wired earphones but pointed out that the design also had some advantages.<\/p>\n

Customers will also be charged \u00a365 to replace a lost charging case. It costs \u00a345 to service the battery in a single Airpod or the charging case itself.<\/p>\n

It is not surprising that replacing a lost product would incur a charge, noted IHS Technology analyst Ian Fogg.<\/p>\n

‘Easier to lose’<\/h2>\n

“What’s striking I think about this is more that, because the Airpod is so small and doesn’t have a cable, it’s going to be easier to lose,” he told the BBC.<\/p>\n

He added that one benefit of wireless, miniaturised devices like the Airpods was the fact that connecting wires would not snag on clothing, for example.<\/p>\n

But it might be possible to develop features for wireless earphones in the future that would help users find a lost Airpod and avoid having to pay for a replacement.<\/p>\n

“Apple could have a ‘find-my-Airpod’ feature,” suggested Mr Fogg.<\/p>\n
