i want just the cord, without the headphones.
This is one product where I believe Apple put some thought and care into, AP1 was not for everyone, AP2 improves on key areas, APP raised the bar in many areas such as sweat and water resistant, sound equalization, etc
I am sure it is not costing Apple what they are asking but for a customer chip and the transparency in switching amping devices it’s value depends on the potential customer. I like my APP and my wired Panasonic lightening earplugs. My only recommendation is for more control of the device built into iOS, my Panasonic wired buds have an app that I can custom.

Looking forward to seeing your AirPods competitor.
That’s a lot of AirPods.. but I actually returned mines. Noise cancelling worked great.. they sounded great as well. But I just never could get a good consistent seal. I could hear/feel them starting to slip out of my ear after about 3 minutes of use. Impossible for me to work out with them. Never had a problem with the OG AirPods..
but I’m also not blaming Apple with this form factor. I’ve never been able to get these cushion type of headphones to stay in my ear which is why before AirPods I used the power beats

There isn’t a company in the world that wouldn’t want the derailment known as iPad. Even at its lowest (sales are much higher again) it was still outselling all tablet competition combined.

That’s funny because my AirPod Pros have fallen out of my ears more times in the first week than my original AirPods ever have in 2 years of constant use. But I’m keeping mine because they still sound and work great.
Indeed, choose wisely, and with choosing wisely also comes to take every aspect into account, which you clearly did not. Like the aspect that wireless earbuds is not only about the best sound quality (less sound quality doesn’t necessarily means bad quality) but also about ease of use. Owners of an iPhone understand this aspect and that explains the huge success of these Airpods.
If you’re looking for convenience and solid good audio quality, probably not the best but still very decent quality, and you own an iPhone, which millions worldwide do, then these Airpods are the best wireless earbuds to buy; by far.
We bought an iPad Air 2 at launch in October 2014 and it still works great as our family kitchen computer. It's still receiving system and security updates too.
No wonder iPad sales slowed down - - Apple makes the damn things last way too long!
My Airpods came without cable. I purchased a replacement cable online with Amazon but cannot find a way to plug it into my iPhone, nor my Airpods. Which adapter do I need to buy? Please advise.
Not sure what you mean. However, you use a standard lightning cable (the one you use for your iPhone) to charge the AirPods case (the AirPods charge while inside the case). If your AirPods have a wireless charging case then you can use any Qi wireless charging mat. The AirPods connect wirelessly to your iPhone. You pair them to your iPhone first, using the case. Here are Apple’s setup instructions: https://support.apple.com/en-ie/HT207010. And here’s the page about charging: https://support.apple.com/en-ie/HT207012
I hope this helps.
If I remember correctly, Apple sells about 10 million iPads per quarter, some much more expensive than those 4 years ago. Do you call that derailed? With that logic, Mac sales never ever got on the track to begin with.
Why can’t they make AirPods in black? If you are using it for business a black one matches much better a dark suit and kind of blenda with hair colors. It feels weird to have something white on your ears. If they can make green and pink phones why can’t they make black AirPods?
iPhone growth curve.

In 3 years you will sell them used for $120, and get a drastically improved model.
This means your AirPods Pro experience would have cost you less than $50 a year.
Nothing “hugely concerning”, really. You’ll be fine.

Wondering where you can get $120 for a 3 year old AirPods. My son has the 2nd gen with wireless charging for less than 4 months. For $120 it is all yours.
I just sold day-one AirPods 1 (2016) for €70. In 8 hours I got 4 phone calls and a dozen messages.

nope. See previous post. In Italy they were €179, sold for €70 veeery quickly.
A €279 pair will easily resell for €120, or more in the same timeframe.
I own the Apple In Ear Headphones. Great buy. While not with ANC they still seal the noise pretty good and are corded. I don't think they are still sold though.

Yeah. Wasting a perfectly fine product with all the precious materials after the battery dies slowly after two or three years is a shame for such a green company Apple claims to be.
