 Thanks to the amazing istocknow web site I was actually able to find a pair of the elusive new AirPods in town even though Apple lists them as back-ordered until March. Apple is clearly at the top if its game with this new product. Simply open the lid of the case and a window appears on your phone asking to pair. Tap the "Pair" button and your AirPods are now connected to not only your phone but your Apple Watch, iPad and computer too.
