AirPods Pro and AirPods Max will not now get Find My support until an iOS 15 update "later this fall."
Apple's expansion of Find My support to more devices is still due to include AirPods Pro, and AirPods Max, but like several other new iOS 15 features, it has been delayed.
"Use the Find My network to get an approximate location of your missing AirPods Pro or AirPods Max," Apple continues to say on its iOS 15 feature page. "This will help you get within Bluetooth range so you can play a sound and locate them."
However, the description now has a footnote, which says, "Coming later this fall."
There are no further details, but it means that Find My AirPods Pro, AirPods Max support will not be included in the initial release of iOS 15.

Again a tentpole feature disappearing in future updates. Disappointing to say the least.
Come on now! When have you ever known Apple to release all features day one? No need to be disappointed.
It’s not unusual in sw development to reach a point where you have to answer the question “do we devote more of our remaining time testing the set of features that appear to be ready or do we try to squeeze in another feature (or features) that may not be quite so ready?”
