Problem
Apple AirPods are easily misplaced, especially when inside their charging case, as Apple's native tracking features do not function when the AirPods are stored. This can lead to users losing their AirPods and incurring the cost of replacement.
Solution
AirFob is a Bluetooth-enabled tracking device designed to fit onto Apple AirPods charging cases, providing a solution for users prone to misplacing their devices. The AirFob system includes a MuTag Bluetooth tracker that fits inside the AirFob case, which then houses the AirPods charging case. Users can leverage the companion iOS (and beta Android) application to locate their AirPods case within a 46-meter range and receive notifications when the AirPods are left behind. The AirFob case also provides a layer of protection, preventing the AirPods charging case from being scratched or scuffed.
Target Audience
The primary target audience consists of Apple AirPods users (Gen 1 and Gen 2) who frequently misplace their AirPods charging case and seek a reliable tracking and protection solution.
