I have a crazy idea, so bear with me, they could go Back to tap.
Got a tip for us?

1. Leaks have been extremely unreliable the last two years.
2. Not personally looking for much innovation in this space since the Airpod Pros are incredibly good.
i'll be one of the happiest people if they do. i refuse to get the pro's and now the 3's due to this idiotic squeeze tech.
Tap is my least favorite feature in my standard Airpods. The pro stem controls are much preferred.
I still think the AirPods Pro 2 will likely look like a cross between the Beats Fit Pro and the Sony XF-1000XM4.
If they really are exactly the same size/shape, I hope they also offer the case separately - I'd be interested in having a case with the "Find My" capability.
Just in case you still haven't found what you're looking for?
As for the colors all black would be great, even "(product) red" might be a fun addition...
solid white is getting old... after all these are headphones not surgical hospital tools.

Yes! The pod is sitting perfectly in your ear and you have to squeeze the stem-disrupting the fitment, not to mention how much more effort is required to find buttons and squeeze with adequate pressure. Tapping just works.
How does a gentle squeeze (I've never had to squeeze very hard on mine) dislodge the AirPods from your ear but tapping on it doesn't?
I find earbuds that need to be tapped are always awful and need to be tapped quite hard for it to be recognised!
You quickly find the spot on the bud that tapping only solidifies it's fitment-for me at least. Mine take the most gentle tap. While running/hiking this is so much easier than squeezing the buttons. I can tap without losing arm swing tempo.
the funny thing is — i've never even had the pro's in my ears — i have a good imagination, so i imagined exactly what you just described. i got myself the 'nothing one's' for my nfc needs, and i love them!
because if you're running and you grab that stem — you're likely to break the "seal". i do all sorts of sport activities(running, biking, basketball) in my gen 2 airpods and haven't had them fall out once.
There’s no reason to have speakerholes just for Find My. The AirTags can emit sounds without speakerholes like that. I say this is fake.
Strap is the only part, I can afford, with my current salary

Yeah, I laughed thinking that I can only afford the Mac Pro wheels... They seem to be just as usable though, by themselves. (No brake? Really? *shrug*)
