When you buy specific products directly from Apple's online store, they will offer you engraving service without charge. In other words, you can currently get an iPad, AirPods, AirTag, or Apple Pencil (2nd generation), and have them engraved with emojis, names, initials, numbers, and dates.
But there's a pleasant surprise for customers who engrave their second-generation AirPods Pro charging case. Apple said that users will be able to see the engraving design while pairing and connecting their second-generation AirPods Pro to their iOS device.
You Can See the Engravings on Your AirPods Pro Charging Case on Your Screen
The second-generation AirPods Pro will soon arrive at the homes of those who pre-ordered them. When pairing this device with your iOS device, you will encounter a pleasant surprise if you decide to have them engraved, according to MacRumors.
As previously mentioned, when you pair your second-generation AirPods Pro with your iOS device, the engraving you made on the charging case will be displayed on the screen.
Although it doesn't add any key features, it is still a pleasant touch to see your custom design on the display.
What Can You Expect With the Second-Generation AirPods Pro
Of course, the new AirPods Pro offers more than just the engraving functionality. Better Active Noise Cancellation and the new H2 chip that brings improved battery life, and enhanced controls with touch-sensitive stems are some features of this high-end device.
The new AirPods Pro case adds a lanyard hole on the side and a small speaker on the bottom. However, this speaker does not intend to play music. Per XDA, when the case is lost or placed on a charger, the speaker on it makes a sound, which will alert the user.
