Sketchy Rumor Claims AirPods 2, AirPower and New iPads to Launch on March 29

My gen 1 AirPods battery have degraded to the point that they barely last an hour. Apple wants me to buy a whole new pair because the “repair” costs just as much.
[doublepost=1549971746][/doublepost]If these things come with a 20% price increase as well, then don’t hold your breath for reasonably-priced iPhones later this year!

This would be really stupid imo. Yet another Apple event focusing on little items. Aside from ipad, big flipping deal on accessories. Mac is really losing the attention of Apple. It’s like 1 Mac hardware event for every 3 ios events.

MacBook
iMac
iMac Pro
Mac Pro

Were in the longest run for an iMac ever. No runors. Besides an old one citing screen enhancements; if that means true tone; certainly 20 months delay for that is absurd. I miss Steve Jobs

I can see our Apple under Tim Cook’s greed will keep the price same for the current Airpods and will increase the price of new airpods at about $50.

I mean... based on rumored new features and competition pricing that would be perfectly reasonable.

Can you “see” that because it was yesterday’s rumor? You and Tim together could be “The Prophet and the Profit”!

Will the price get reduce 2 months later because there not selling like the iPhones? Lol
 
WOW, what a bold prediction! I hope the Macrumors editors post this super secret information I have:

Apple will have a September event and a possible June event as well to show off the Mac Pro, new monitor and new iPads!
 
I am hoping these will be released sooner. I step on a plane 3/22 to travel nearly 24hrs halfway around the globe. My BeatsX lasted 13 months and I’ve held off from repairing them because a) they lasted only 13 months and b) it would have costs nearly the same amount as a new pair.

I just wish we could get updated AirPods with soft, interchangeable tips. The current hard plastic don’t fit my ears very well and are incredibly uncomfortable for more than an hour use.

Maybe they will include the Mac Pro in this event. Noone really knows when that one will come.

I would be surprised if we hear anything about a Mac Pro until at least WWDC. It is possible that the iMac may get updated before then and I think it’s going to be a redesign.

These should be small little projects Apple’s second and third tier engineers are nailing down while the bigger teams work on iPhone etc.

Yet this Air Power lol..and 2nd gen Bluetooth head phones come on now.
 
I'll believe it when Bloomberg posts a questionable, yet sensationalist, article that incites rage and causes readers to demand a retraction. That's when you know it's "true"... right?... right?...

Meanwhile, in the Real World, my poor bank account and stupidly-loaded credit cards are screeching in agony at the mere threat of the iPad Mini 5. I so desperately want that device. It will address so many points of friction I have in my life right now with regards to reading certain texts. My precious iPhone SE is too small, MacBook is an overkill of distractions (even in browser full screen mode), 9.7/10/10.5 whatever "iPad (new)" is too big and uncomfortable... Kindles can't access Safari Books Online (the O'Reilly service) and they're all about Amazon snooping, and the moment I get a non-iPad reader it'll be hit with rootkits and rendered useless in less than 10 minutes (even Windows now has a longer "life expectancy" on the Internet; never thought I'd see that day).

I'd rather not do the Mini 4 (which is an awesome device, anyway!) knowing it's not long for this world on future updates, with that A8 chip. :( My 7r old loves her Mini 4, tho.

I want iPad Mini 5. I ache for it. Please be $299 or less (I'm dreaming, ok? Let me dream. I know they'll still price it at $329 because... "Apple").
 
I don't see the big deal about Siri and the AirPod 2's. I use "Hey Siri" all the time with my AirPod 1's without tapping them.

For example I just ask Siri to play a song list. Then ask her to change the list. All without touching the phone or the AirPods. So what will be different with AirPod 2?

Nah. Battery replacement is only $49 each, or $98. A new set of AirPods is $169.
 
If rumors are true, airpods 2 are a complete yawn for me. Wireless charging, whatever. Hey siri --- yeah i turn that off anyway.

When Airpods have better sound isolation/cancellation, and an easier way to control volume levels that is worth purchasing.
