And when you lot factor in these two points, it makes everyone question – how practice I turn off AirPods Max and how do I preserve the battery life?

The answer to your beginning question is very elementary. Apple says placing the AirPods Max back into its smart case puts them in an ultra-low style. So, they are basically off and in that location'southward no striking to the remaining battery life. Now, the adjacent question yous may take is — what will happen if I leave the AirPods Max exterior the smart example? Will the battery merely deplete even though I'yard not using the headphones?

Apple, however, hasn't specified the definition of stationary though. Will the AirPods Max go into depression ability style when they're sitting around your neck? I mean, they're stationary in this case and you aren't listening to music. I'one thousand not sure that will exist the case though.

Plus, "subsequently 72 stationary hours out of the Smart Case, your AirPods Max get into a lower power way that turns off Bluetooth and Detect My to preserve battery charge further," says the back up page. The same happens when the headphones have been placed in the smart instance for xviii hours.
