Camera control is nice. Happy to see it on base 16 models also

Looks ok. Except when it comes to simply holding iPhone to do other things. That button seems right in the way to be pressed unintentionally.
 
So if these have noise cancellation and transparency mode, what's the point of the AirPods Pro? Just the rubber tips?

Edit: Two variations of the AirPods 4 at different price points? A mess. People are going to be confused what they should get. These are the things Steve Jobs tried to avoid.
I agree. Too many variations at too many different price points. Simplify the product line, PUH-LEASE!!!

Maybe you don't understand they just talked about Apple Watch Ultra 2 and Airpods Pro and other than a color change they didn't actually release anything new. Airpods max? How many years old are they now? It has USB C and that's it.

WWDC is for software feature updates. This is supposed to be for hardware. Listening to Apple advertise a year old product like its brand new is a new low for Apple. At no point did they mention the Ultra 2 is last year's model in a new color they presented it as a new watch.
I mean, is there something EXTREMELY NEEDED for the Airpods Max? I understand its slightly older. As someone that uses mine for 8-10 hours EVERY DAY, it would be nice to have a slight bump. But not something I am going to complain about. I replaced an older Sennheiser from 2015 with the Airpods Max. Audio wasn't THAT much better. I mostly moved to eliminate the Bluetooth limits I was facing where I had to clear the pairing list every day. Also, as stated before the cushions on my older devices (and alternatives I tried before the Airpods) REALLY hurt my hears and caused some serious skin issues.
