Question: can airpods connect to an ipad?
Answer: AirPods are designed to connect to your ‌iPhone‌ or ‌iPad‌ whenever you open the case lid, so all you need to do to listen to music is take them out of the case and put them in your ears. Your AirPods are linked to your iCloud account, so once you pair them with one device, your other devices know they exist.
