Apple Event Live Blog: iPhone 16, Apple Watch 10, and New AirPods!

[Rooskibar03]

I'm sure I'll get flamed but does anyone magically just say ooooo the new packaging is carbon neutral I'm finally gonna buy an Apple product?

Presumably the AirPods Max are still supplied with a bra

Over-the-head boulder holders

 

[Duncan-UK]

Why is the H in Hermes silent?

Probably the custom given how Americans pronounce "Herbs". Almost as jarring as dropping the S from Maths. Ah well - Tomato, Tomayto...

 

[joshwithachance]

Wow... They really just STEAMROLLED right over the Max announcement.💀

 

[sw1tcher]

AirPods Max only getting USB-C port? No other update? And Apple still wants $549 for them? 😂

 

[NayborAxi]

AirPods Max update just sucks. REally apple?

 

[oldtime]

What’s the point of the Pro model if all the features are included with the regular AirPods then?

Because they sound and feel completely different. Buds and IEMs are two different class of headphone.

 

[transmaster]

A hearing aid?

 

[- rob -]

So, no H2 chip in the Airpods Max update? And the same price. Wow.

 

[Dbsr87]

I thought the Pros weren’t getting an update until next year?

 

[USAJerry]

Wonder why they don’t do a live stage presentation anymore. ?

They got booed and laughed at when they announced the Apple Stand at $999 some years back. And then they used COVID as an excuse to do pre-recorded events.

 

[Adam-Jobs]

Wonder why they don’t do a live stage presentation anymore. ?

To avoid booing.

Also it seems that iPhone 16 will be up for pre order today since all the other products are.

That’s has always been the case for small products. iPhone will be available for pre order like always, on Friday.

 

[danpass]

How do I fast forward this live event right now?

🤣

[soapropos]

Shouldn't this be airpods pro 3?

 

[Kylo83]

This is so bad AirPods Max is only because they need to fit the eu rules. Nothing about higher sound quality or anything

 

[ccsicecoke]

AirPods Pro = AirPods + hearing assistance

 

[ISignedUpToAskThis]

No new AirPods Max? Looks like I’m going to buy the Dyson headphones this week then. Your loss, Apple!

Don't. The APMs are still the best wireless headphones you can buy in terms of audio quality. I've tested so many including the Dysons.

 

[macduke]

I'm really surprised they didn't do more with the AirPods Max. Is Apple getting over extended with their inability to deliver true updates to their products? The consensus is that AirPods Max are heavy and uncomfortable to wear for extended periods of time, and yet they just completely ignored that? Really?? Was interested in them fixing some of these issues with a new model and possibly buying my first pair, but not now, lol.

 

[ShadowGuardian87]

I am in the same boat.

Really disappointed in the Apple Watch Ultra this year. They just reselling the Ultra 2 and I don't think that is getting the sleep apnea feature.

 

[glsillygili]

Why can I turn off subtitles, but I can't turn off 25% of the presentation being for sign language?

Because you're watching the sign language stream

 

[poematik13]

too preachy. people are getting hearing loss from airpods in their ears 24/7

My ENT doc actually said airpods clog your ears with wax and "business is booming" for him because people are now coming in regularly to get their ears cleaned out. The in-ear tips push wax deeper into your canal and clog it.

 

[Funny Apple Man]

No mention of H2 chip and better ANC or battery life on the AirPods Max.

 

[atomwork]

Crazy how they just applied EU laws and called it an updated product. After 4 years no new tech for the Max? Crazy to keep the same high price for 4 year old product

 

[Apleeseed84]

I thought the Pros weren’t getting an update until next year?

Just features
