While Apple AirPods are truly the best true wireless earbuds available in the market, they can also experience some glitches. And one of the most common issues is AirPods case not charging. In some case, one of the earbuds stops charging. So, in this guide, we have detailed the best methods to fix if your AirPods case is not charging. On that note, let’s begin.
1. Remove and Reinsert the Charging Cable
If your AirPods case is not charging, try removing and reinserting the charging cable into the lightning port of the case. When you reinsert the charging cable, the charging light should appear. You can also use your iPhone to check the charging status of both AirPods and the case. If this doesn’t solve the issue, repeat the process twice or thrice before moving to the next method.
2. Try Another Lightning Cable or Adapter
So you tried removing and reinserting the charging cable, but the issue persists. To confirm that the lightning port on the AirPods case is not malfunctioning, try using another lightning cable or adapter, or you can also use a wireless charging pad. And if this method, too, does not solve the issue of AirPods case not charging, try cleaning the charging port.

3. Clean the Lightning Port
The charging port on your AirPods can easily accumulate dust and debris, resulting in an improper connection between the charging port and the lightning cable. The solution? Cleaning the charging port to remove dust using the right tools. You can refer to our detailed guide on how to clean the charging port on your iPhone and apply the same methods here as well.
4. Reset Your AirPods
If your AirPods case is still not charging, you can try to reset it. Resetting your AirPods will only remove your AirPods from the paired device while keeping all the settings intact. And if you need assistance in resetting your AirPods, check out our guide on how to reset AirPods .
5. Update Your AirPods
You can update the AirPods to the latest firmware version if the case is not charging. Updating your AirPods to the latest firmware might help resolve the charging issue. AirPods update automatically when connected to an iPhone while the case is charging. For detailed steps, refer to our article on how to update your AirPods .
If you believe that your AirPods case is charging but AirPods still show low battery when you take them out, we have got your back. Below, we have detailed a list of methods if your AirPods are not charging.
6.Remove and Reinsert AirPodsin the Case
The easiest way to fix the charging issue is to remove one AirPod and reinsert it into the charging case, close the lid, and open it again. To ensure both the AirPods are charging, check if the charging light blinks or use the paired iPhone to view the battery level and indicator.
7. Charge the AirPods Case
There needs to be sufficient battery in the charging case to charge the AirPods. A flat battery on the charging case could be the reason why your AirPods are not charging. You will see an amber light on the AirPods case when you remove AirPods from it, indicating that the battery level on the case is low. And if no light shows up, the battery on the case is dead. Try placing AirPods inside the case and then charge both AirPods and the case together until they are good to go.
8. Clean the Charging Connectors and AirPods
Like the charging port, dust and debris can also accumulate on the AirPods charging connectors inside the case, which can disrupt the connection between the charging case and the AirPods. Use a dry cotton swab to clean the charging connectors inside the case gently, then reinsert the AirPods.
Sometimes, the charging case won’t detect the AirPods if the charging connectors on the AirPods are dirty. To solve this issue, carefully clean your AirPods, and the problem will probably be resolved.
9. Contact Apple Support
Tried everything, and your AirPods or the charging case still won’t charge? There is a high chance of dead battery or physical damage on your AirPods. In that case, we suggest you visiting an Apple Support Center for a possible solution.
If there is no status light on your AirPods, the battery is completely drained.
Unfortunately, no, Apple AirPods are just water resistant, not waterproof.

- Apple and Google have officially confirmed their team-up for the next-gen Siri AI.
- The Cupertino Giant will be using Google’s Gemini for a more personalized Siri model as well as Apple Intelligence features.
- We can expect the next-gen Siri to come out with iOS 26.4, sometime in March or April.
Apple has officially confirmed joining forces with Google to use its Gemini AI model to power the next-generation Siri. It will offer a more personalized experience and will be coming out with the iOS 26.4 update. Apple also plans to leverage Gemini’s capabilities for other Apple Intelligence features as well, later down the line.
The Next-Gen Siri will be powered by Google’s Gemini AI
Apple officially confirmed that it will be partnering with Google in a statement to CNBC . Here’s what it stated, “After careful evaluation, we determined that Google’s technology provides the most capable foundation for Apple Foundation Models, and we’re excited about the innovative new experiences it will unlock for our users.”
Later, Google also shared a post on X confirming the tie-up, “Apple and Google have entered into a multi-year collaboration under which the next generation of Apple Foundation Models will be based on Google’s Gemini models and cloud technology. These models will help power future Apple Intelligence features, including a more personalized Siri coming this year.”

Both statements clearly mention that the Cupertino Giant will be using Gemini to power its assistant Siri. This was already rumored, as Apple’s attempts to acquire Perplexity went nowhere. With Gemini, Siri will get a major AI update . It will be able to handle more nuanced conversations and provide better results. Something long-time Apple users have been asking for years.
The next-gen Siri will arrive with the iOS 26.4 update, which will launch sometime in March or April. And it is only going to be available for Apple Intelligence-supported devices .
Something else worth noting is how Google’s statement mentions that Gemini will power Apple Intelligence features. This leads us to believe that Apple could use Gemini’s multi-modal capabilities for its Writings tools , Image Playground , and Message summaries, too.
Elon Musk Not Happy With Apple and Google Tie Up
xAI CEO Elon Musk also responded to Google’s announcement post on X, sharing his thoughts on the matter by saying, “This seems like an unreasonable concentration of power for Google, given that they also have Android and Chrome.” Though we don’t expect either Apple or Google to respond to Elon, we will update the situation as it progresses.
It is worth noting that xAI is the company behind Grok, which is in hot water currently due to its inappropriate image generation fiasco , and has been getting backlash from multiple news outlets, X users, and even government authorities.
