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

[6836838]

These remind me of the old horrible BT headphone back in the early 00's!

 

[Sikh]

Thank GOD the headphone jack is gone. I am also a fan of airpods, because I love wireless headphones and ear pods have fit perfect in my ear with no pair or uncomfortable sensation. Must better than any in ears ive had including the Bragi Dash. The Dash's fit sleeve has made them a lot more comfortable then most in ears, but not as comfortable as my earpods that i still find my self digging out and wearing.

i wonder if there is going to be another event in october for mac

hardware and software related... nothing even about os sierra yet.

 

[fel10]

Bye Felica!!!

 

[accentaudio]

BEATS...? Really...?

 

[yaxomoxay]

yes. You also need it to charge it.

Understandable to charge it, but that would mean that I have to bring the box with me in case they disconnect.

 

[citysnaps]

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

To be expected. Hating/trashing is the only way some people without much going on in their life can feel good about themselves.

 

[Oblivious.Robot]

No mention of price, yep.
That means it's upwards of 250$ or even higher
Damn

So Apples breakthrough answer to dumping the 3.5mm headphone jack are wireless headphones and a case you need to carry all the time... Sigh. Come on what's the stupid price Apple... Oh they have skipped the price? That means they are stupid money then...

I noticed these Airpods are the only devices they have mentioned battery life off tonight.

 

[Keniutek]

Lol Apple. I guess the iSheeps will defend everything anyways...

 

[cardfan]

I'll just keep the bose qc35 i have. It switches sources pretty easily as well.

 

[CaptOblivious]

24 hours total listening?!? (life-span? ) So why then 5 hours?

the charger holds 24 hours worth of charge. You need to recharge after 5 hours using the case.

 

[Playa!!]

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

I fear that they will fall out if i bike with them

 

[RightMACatU]

A "Magical Experience"... wait until we see the price to see how magical it will be

 

[jthomp]

Sticker shock for ALL of this is gonna give some people a heart attack...

A courageous comment.

BEATS...? Really...?

That's what bothers you about this?!

 

[Poly]

I THINK Apple just managed to do the same to headphones as what they did to smartphones. Yearly updates, faster processors and all that **** is coming to headphones as well.

 

[vvs14]

There's a difference between engineering for a company like Apple and commenting from the comfort of an armchair.

Ouch....

 

[KJL3000]

Stereo mics on the airpods?

 

[Kobayagi]

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

I think he said 4 hours.

 

[Jsameds]

BEATS...? Really...?

Well yeah. Choice is good.

 

[applepie2100]

Finally we get to the guts of the thing.

 

[SuperHamster]

The AirPods and charging case can be charged together with a Lightning cable.

Great. My 5034:th electronic thingie that I need to remember to plug into a charger each evening.

Missed some of the wireless chip stuff, but it almost sounds like third party manufacturers will require a W1 chip?

In other words, no affordable 3rd party wireless headphones?

Sounds like a stillbirth.
