Is this the bug where you interrupt playback by say, leaving the car, restoring the connection (returning to the car), and the music continuing from who-the-hell-knows?
Got a tip for us?

"Apple originally planned to launch the Bluetooth gadget in 2015, but Bluetooth performance issues stalled the release, the source told FORBES. "The way it works at Apple is if it doesn't work 100%, it gets cut," the source said. "
What utter PR crap.
What utter PR crap.
Sounds wonderful, but I doubt it.
I’ve been watching Bragi since their Kickstarter, but their price, bugs, and Apple’s rumored earpods have kept me from purchasing. If Apple’s are less than $200, I’m buying.

IF ONLY APPLE WOULD RELEASE THEM.
I sure hope so. The future is wireless, but they have to be better than what's out there now.
If you have the money u don't need to wait for Apple, just buy one of the thousands bluetooth headphones in the market, here, let me help you https://encrypted.google.com/#safe=active&hl=en&gl=en&q=best+bluetooth+headphonesSounds wonderful, but I doubt it.

agreed. right now i still think wireless tech is severely lacking BUT completely removing the Jack will bolster companies to seriously set the time aside to fix the issues with current wireless.
i mean at the moment there is not much of a motivation to do so because well, wired headphones are still a huge market,
but if smartphones, one of the biggest users of headphones in our day to day lives remove it, then companies will be somewhat forced to improve the quality of their wireless to compete with companies that already have a big foot in the wireless world (IE: beats, skull candy, bose,, though lacking in quality, already have the basis to go far with wireless)
just like with the floppy and many other things in the past, sometimes to move on, you just have to cut the cord.
Plus i love everyone here talking about the 3.5mm jack still being compatible, top of the line and not needing to be removed or replaced. true it doesnt NEED too. but apple has always been big on trying to push the industry into new directions. and if we always cling to the 3.5mm jack it will never change. yea its been good for 25 years, but what about 25 years form now?
but neither did the floppy. tech companies could have kept both the CD and the Floppy drives.
Apple could have even kept the CD drives on macs, they didnt need to remove it. but they did and because of it and many other companies taking similar actions, there has been a huge improvement in the Technology these past
Oh they will be backwards compatible with the 6, and BT 4. The 6 just won't likely be able to be able to take advantage of the BT 5, or other low power BT Apple is rumored to have developed here, nor likely the higher quality audio.
Everyone is forgetting that Bluetooth 5.0 is coming soon and it's going to be awesome!
"if it doesn't work 100%, it gets cut"
Well that rules out Bluetooth for a start.

I wish, but I have a feeling they'll just include an adapter with traditional headphones and these wireless earbuds will be sold separately.
But, if they solved all the BT issues with pairing, sound quality and audio drop outs, I'm definitely picking up a pair on day one along with the new iPhone.
We already have Bluetooth headphones but sometimes you need a wired jack because I find my BT headsets are always not charged at the worst possible times.
Bluetooth rarely drops... sound quality is pretty good with AptX codec.
I agree. But if they solved all the BT issues, and it sounds great and lasts 4 hours or more, $150 would be a bargain.
I don't think so. I'm talking about the bug where my iPhone refuses to stay on 'shuffle' mode and reverts back to alphabetical play order when connected to Bluetooth. It's lasted for 3 iPhones now so I know it's not a hardware problem.
Although possibly it's the same thing we're describing in different ways.
3.5mm/Lightning wired headphones are still ridiculously cheap to manufacture, but it would certainly help ease the transition and quiet the complainers.
Yeah , you are correct , that estimate is way off, more like double
HAHAHA. Ya right. You will get cheap crap with the next iPhone and these will cost $199 extra (if we're lucky)
Although the Apple Pencil's solution to charging is hardly elegant, I find it to be amazingly convenient.
Hopefully, Apple earbuds are similar to the Jaybird X2 but with the ability to plug into an iPhone or iPad for a quick charge (15 seconds for 30 min use). That would be great

Don't confirm that if they will come in the box or will be sold separately
There was a piece on 9to5 Mac about this a while ago, they seemed to be suggesting that they would be sold separately.
Maybe different bug lol. When I restore the connection I may get lucky and the previous song continues or the first song on the first playlist starts playing. No rhyme or reason why it behaves likes this.
Right now it looks like there are almost no features that we know of on the iPhone 7 that mark any sort of real advance over the 6S models. These AirPods would be a great selling feature if included but they don't really differentiate the iPhone 7. One could buy these and pair them with any iPhone or smartphone though Apple may tie them to iOS for certain features. Apple would have to sell these for $199 or more and would not offer the iPhone 7 at the 6S pricing with them included. They're simply not going to give up that kind of profit. The iPhone 7 needs another feature or features that really give people a reason to upgrade. And I don't expect Apple will have these ready next month. Likely a 7S item, even with the timing of the 7 jack removal being the perfect time to introduce.
As far as The Dash, I got a pair last month and like them. Not the greatest battery life. Some nice features. Pretty good first generation bleeding edge product. Better than the VerveOnes from what I have seen.
