can the force sensor be used for controlling volume though? 'cause that's a feature that would be really great to have.
Macrumors (this very site actually) was recently running rumours of color options for these new AirPods. I am not interested in white only and just saying that Apple lost a sale because of this. I am sure I am not the only one that was hoping for additional colors. Apple is doing things they never have done on past with other product lines so it was hopefully of color options.
You're confusing "value" with "price", surely?
Until you have tried them, or at least seen some reviews, particularly of the audio quality, who's to say they aren't good value?
Things aren't necessarily bad value just because they are expensive.
You’ll be able to buy them for <$10 from numerous third parties on eBay and amazon, in all sorts of shapes, materials, colors and form factors. No need to limit yourself to Apple’s own offering.
they are removable as they have 3 different sizes lol
but... they “click“ in place suggesting yes they are unique to Apple and you can’t go around trying to fit your own on it
AppleCare+ is only $29, it includes battery replacement (if less than 80% capacity for AirPods or case) and accidental damage, in addition to the one-year warranty extension.
It would seem to be a pretty good deal, but even without AppleCare battery service is $49 per AirPod so $100 every 2-3 years isn’t really all that bad.
I think I found my new pair of headphones! Cant wait to test them out. WIll wait until black friday though
Expensive, but I could see getting them, as I currently have AirPods v1 and jaybirds for running/gym. These seem like they could replace both.
I think what he means is Apple's recent way of increasing prices with better technology that should come naturally. In the past for example with the original iPad going all the way to the iPad Air 2, the base prices of the iPads were always $500, $600, and $700 depending on low, mid, or high storage but with natural technological advances (thinner, lighter, front cameras, Retina Displays, Xbox level graphics, etc.). Same concept with cars, we have better cars than we did 20 years ago but a Toyota Camry is still going for around the $25,000 price, a Toyota Camry does not cost $75,000 today.
Lately Apple seems to increase the price with the premise that it is increasing technology, and people such as yourselves (especially with your condescending response) have kind of been "fooled" in a way by blindly accepting the price increases as "normal".
So when they say press what is the force needed? It's very easy to tap for controls now. Say I'm running it might be a bit difficult to "press" without "grabbing" and having them fall put
What happened with the rumoured full size headphones from Apple? Is that still happening?
Do you usually listen to stuff on headphones for longer than 5 hours straight? I don't even think that would be healthy for your ear drums, without a break.
Thank you! I just discovered AirFly; but clearly if it works without that now (especially on Delta) that would be greatthese...?

I’m aware of the rumor, and it’s possible but only white for now.
I’m not saying Apple shouldn’t make other colors, and it is somewhat puzzling to me why they don’t. If someone writes Tim Cook, maybe he will respond!
