The AirPods case has a small LED light on the front that provides information about the charging status and other important notifications. Here’s a breakdown of what the lights on the AirPods case mean:

1. No Light: If you open the AirPods case, and there is no light at all, it means the AirPods case battery is either fully depleted, or the case is not charged. In this case, you need to charge the AirPods case using the included Lightning cable.

2. Steady Amber Light: When you connect the AirPods case to a power source, a steady amber light indicates that the AirPods case is currently charging.

3. Steady Green Light: If you see a steady green light when you open the AirPods case (and it’s not connected to a power source), it means the AirPods case is fully charged.

4. Blinking White Light: When you open the AirPods case near an iOS device that is signed in with your Apple ID, a blinking white light indicates that the AirPods are ready to connect to that device. This happens during the initial setup process or when connecting the AirPods to a different device.

5. Blinking Amber Light: If the AirPods are inside the case and you see a blinking amber light, it means the AirPods are currently charging.

6. Blinking White Light While Lid is Closed: If the AirPods are inside the case, and you see a blinking white light when the lid is closed, it means the AirPods are in pairing mode and ready to be connected to a device that isn’t associated with your Apple ID.

7. Blinking White Light While Lid is Open: If you see a blinking white light while the lid is open, it means the AirPods are in pairing mode, and the case is ready to connect to a device.

8. Amber Light Blinking Three Times: An amber light blinking three times indicates that your AirPods are not charged or are low on battery, and you need to charge them.

9. White Light Blinking Three Times: A white light blinking three times indicates that your AirPods are ready to connect to a nearby device. This occurs when you open the case near an iOS device that is signed in with your Apple ID.

Please note that Apple may update or change the functionality of AirPods and their case with software updates. For the most current information on the AirPods case’s LED light status and other features, refer to Apple’s official support documentation or visit the Apple support website.
