You still think AirPower will see the light of day? It's been over a year since their bold announcement and not a peep since. I wouldn't hold my breath.
Reviews haven't been "mixed;" they've been positively glowing. At least all the ones that get beyond "they look like cigarettes lawwwwwwl."
You are wrong. They will come in a Disney-Edition in November - $189
People want a new generation of AirPods, I read that in china Apple just got clearance for a number of Bluetooth devices and one "unknown" one that may be the AirPods2. In the past a disruption of stock has been an indication of something new coming. Speculation but it's fun
There has been rumors from credible sources that the Mac Mini is being redesigned and will be a more "pro" model and more modular, similar, I think, to the redesigned Mac Pro that will be release next year.
Apple has also been VERY aggressive to contain leaks in the last couple years, people aren't as excited about iPad as they are iPhone so not as many leaks, although I have seen quite a number of leaks around specs and even mockups that I think will be very accurate.
It's the exact opposite here in London - go on the London underground and you simply don't see people wearing over the head headphones anymore - they've gone back to Apple EarPods or have moved on to AirPods!
G5 Powerbooks, Apple Television, Apple Car, Wireless Charging Mats, Updated Mac Mini, Unicorns, Mermaids....
My L bud is pretty rough too, going on two years of owning and using almost daily.
Apple doesn't give up that easily. They might be embarrassed, but I don't think they've given up. Worst case is many years from now they release AirPower with truly wireless charging over a distance, lol.
I must be invisible then
Lots of people wearing all kinds of headphones. Most of them noise cancelling. Some wearing good in-ear phones like AirPods, some wearing nasty things where everyone can enjoy that persons taste of music :-(
Apple should be already including the Wireless charging case with all AirPods.
If they want, they could included it ‘disabled’ by software, and enable the wireless charging capability via a software update when they want or when they release the AirPower.

“Apple just got clearance for a number of Bluetooth devices and one "unknown" one that may be the AirPods2.”
No they didn’t. It was for a new iPad (assuming the new Pro) and only one unknown Bluetooth device! Could even be a new pencil. Which would make sense with a new Pro model.
But with every new hardware there has been leaked pics of the screen or the casing, etc... Not a single one of the new iPad Pro. Render and mock uos are not leaks. You know that.
I don’t think there will be a new Mac Mini.
Am in the market for a new iPad, if the mock ups and renders are close to the real deal I’m definitely in.
Probably another bug in Apples logistic system...
Frankly, all the Mini needs is a stronger CPU with a real heatsink (!), 16G RAM (option for 32GB) and 2-4 TB3 ports so we can connect our external GPU.
That Mini will do the job for the next 5 years at least...
Doubt the redesign part... At least not externally.

I bought some and was so disappointed with them. They sound fine, the true wireless is great but the lack of basic features is horrible. I am definitely returning them to the store. I had the hardest time figuring out how to change tracks or pause in the settings. It takes more than a tap, I was hitting it so hard to make it work and half the time it didn't work. I don't want to have to ask Siri to make it louder or quieter or start a song over during a workout. A simple touch sensitive design would've been better, no volume control is a killer for me. simple swipe gestures on them could've made that happen. For now I am sticking to my Beats X, amazing sound, amazing battery, still wireless enough that it doesn't get in the way.
gave up waiting for version 2 and bought a pair for $100 new. in my opinion they're worth it in the sense I can take one bud out to listen to people and things around me while listening to music/podcasts. Not the best sound in the world, but I was sick of using the lightning headphones and having the cord dangling. When I don't need the buds I use my QC35, still the best headphones I ever owned.
They can improve the existing ones with software - why not have a triple tap control option?
I have set mine up to be:
- (L) tap tap -> previous track
- (R) tap tap -> next track
Play/pause is simply done by removing one, but this leaves no ability to summon Siri.

My local Costco had them for the same price about a month ago. I took that as an indication new AirPods are imminent. Here's to hoping they will be announced the last week of October.
They can't come soon enough. After 2 years, my batteries are to the point it's a struggle getting through through an hour meeting, so I need to replace them.
I use my constantly through the day-- conference calls at work and music walking about town.
One feature I'd like to see is better water sealing-- I'd like to be able to just run them under the faucet periodically to clean them. The case too-- the shiny white as picked up a lot of pocket lint.

I've gone jogging with many earbuds, which involves a lot of pavement pounding. AirPods are actually the only earbuds that don't fall out. I think it is the combination of ultra lightweight, and no connecting cord to drag against things or bounce up and down, pulling them out.
In fact they are so comfortable and so light, it feels like I'm jogging without earbuds at all. It's quite a dramatic improvement.
