Live Coverage of Apple's 'See You on the 7th' iPhone 7 Event

[Flow39]

So much hate here. I'm very impressed with what they've shown today (minus the lack of a jack.)

Magical. He said. Time to take a shot of the good stuff.

 

[AustinIllini]

They should have just updated the Beats equivalent.

 

[Kobayagi]

Aren't these gonna fall out super easy? And what if you're on a bike or something, you'll lose them really easy and if they fall at speed, they'll damage...

 

[maflynn]

Will these things fit in my ear or fall out is the question...

The old style ear buds don't fit in my ears, so I'd imagine these won't as well.

 

[ssl0408]

So, they just removed the cord lol. No new design?

 

[goomba478]

very generous of apple of not charging $19 for the adapter.

For the first one anyway .

 

[S.B.G]

I wonder how long the batteries in those new ear buds will last

I think I heard 24 hrs of total listening

 

[Oblivious.Robot]

Will they work on Apple TV too?

 

[mango316]

Coming to an end of keynote now, all about AirPods so looks like no Macbook Pro...

 

[nia820]

I'm guessing these airpods are going to be $100?

 

[yaxomoxay]

Do I need the box in order to pair the earpods with the phone?!

 

[shyam09]

How would I increase the volume on the AirPods?

 

[6836838]

5 hours. Haha!

 

[maflynn]

5 hours don't see like much, but I guess not surprising given the tiny size.

 

[mi7chy]

FAIL...

Audio jack removal, requiring a cumbersome misplaceable dongle and using a proprietary non-cross-platform connector.

 

[lewismayell]

I get what they're doing, it did have to happen at some point, I like it

 

[davidgolfer]

battery case is a nice touch

 

[jdillings]

W1, Apple's first wireless chip. Now we charge $$$ to all of the headphone manufactures and make your existing ones worthless

 

[AustinIllini]

So much hate here. I'm very impressed with what they've shown today (minus the lack of a jack.)

It's nice stuff, but it's all kind of iPhone 6ss to me

 

[jcmeyer5]

Happy to see that they are doing them... not so happy that they look like crap and probably wont stay in your ears. They are the same shape as the EarPods. Those don't stay in so well.

 

[mac4good84]

My wife is up for a new iPhone this fall, but without the headphone jack it will be hard to convince her on the 7; at worst she can just get a discounted 6s instead.

 

[frifra]

Seriously, they look like regular earbuds with the cords ripped off. This is 2016 Apple design?

Wait for next year. They will add the cords without the jack.

 

[dewski]

I've never had luck with earpods staying in my ears for more than 30 seconds while jogging, and these look exactly the same

 

[KdParker]

I like em.....cost please

 

[samcraig]

Sometimes I think the execs presenting never look beyond their Apple bubble based on their lack of acknowledgement that their tech isn't new. It might be better or different - but it's not "new." Either that - or they think they can get away with acting that way and consumers won't know the difference.
