Shove some tissue in there make sure it’s dry, once you’re certain there’s no moisture at all, restart the phone and that’ll reset the warning. Should be good to go after that!

Not true, screen replacements don’t affect FaceID functionality. They did very briefly when the 13P was released but they quickly rolled back after it got major backlash

Sounds like an issue with the focusing mechanism. Take it to apple and see what they say, might be able to get replaced under warranty

How close are we talking here? 1cm away, 10cm 1m?

What phone do you have?

Religious user of my AirPods here, typically putting about 30-35 hours of use a week on them.

I’m based in the UK I got the pair I bought replaced in 2019 under the repair programme and since then I’ve had them replaced every 6-8 months under consumer law

I ride a motorcycle for my job, my AirPods are in my ears while I’m riding, not sure if it’s the sweat or the pressure but they always end up shitting themselves after the 6-8 month mark. I get bad audio and bad transparency mode and take them to apple.

It’s funny every time I go they try to charge me, I remind them of consumer law and that AirPods are known to have audio issues and boom another free replacement, got them replaced last week
