Although many exclusive features like Adaptive sound won't work on Apple devices, the Google Buds easily connect with iOS-based devices. Follow these steps to connect your device:

  1. With both the Pixel Buds in the case, press and hold the Pairing button until you see the LED light blinking.
  2. The Buds will now enter the Pairing mode. Now, turn on Bluetooth on your Apple device, and make sure to turn on the Bluetooth toggle.
  3. Under the Other Devices tab, you should now see the Pixel Buds.
  4. Tap on it, and your Pixel Buds should now connect with your iPhone or iPad.
