Replacing a missing AirPod for free is not typically available under standard Apple warranty policies, as these do not cover lost or stolen items. However, you can buy a replacement AirPod through the Apple Support website or at an Apple Store. The cost is significantly less than purchasing a new pair. Remember to sync the new AirPod with your existing one. For any doubt or specific situations, such as recent purchases or additional coverage like AppleCare+, it's best to directly consult with Apple's customer service.
