I have the 3, so would consider it, only the 3 seems to be working well enough for me for now. Beyond that, ppl I know with the 4 haven't seen a reason to upgrade to the 5, as the features aren't enough of a leap. Of course, if I had the $$, I would get a 5 for sure. But again, the 3 run smoothly enough with the latest OS, and I am actually genuinely happy to keep it another year.
What a time to be alive. I have an iPhone X that is ticking along very well into its third year. And an Apple Watch ticking along its third year. Usually I am Mr 2-Year Recycle Man. This is a turn!

Looks awfully complicated for a simple set of ear buds. I'm especially amused by the 'Step 14' leading me to believe it is likely the most used step of any?
I'm not so sold on the Apple-centric universe especially after IOS 13.n which totally screwed up iTunes Playlists and shoved advertisements in front of every use trying to do App updates!
Question for those with AirPods Pro. Find My with the original AirPods was pretty much useless because you couldn’t find them if they were in their case which is where most people store them. If you don’t remember where you left them (in a pocket, in another room, in a bag), you’re out of luck and have to look everywhere. Did they fix that with this generation? Can you ping AirPods Pro if they’re in the case or does the case itself make a sound?
The Airpods Pro do fit under Bose 700 NC for double duty. Flight test still pending.
I like that the in-ear fit doesn’t amplify contact vibrations, a common irritant if you lean against a wall, window, or headrest while wearing over-the-ear NC phones.
If you do fly regularly then the answer is a pair of airpod pro pairs, one will recharge while using the other, if only they came in different colours so you didn’t mix them up!
That's great advice for shoes and gloves as well! Thanks!

And if the poster did have that epileptic fit, apparently, the iPods could have diagnosed it!
Seeing how quickly companies slap branding on devices, like the MacRumors.com label above, reminds me of how much restraint Apple demonstrates with its wearable products. No company name or even logo on the Apple Watch and AirPods.
They let their distinctive design do the talking.
Can you imagine having to be a walking Sony billboard?
This goes to show how good the APP's are. I am happy with mine but just so wish the sound quality was better, it is incredibly washed out (even to my knackered ears), my £30 buds sound far superior.
Functionality though is great, which is why I decided to keep them.

Number 6 - Listen in on people in another room. Definitely sounds dodgy.
Thanks MR for another helpful article.
I got my APP yesterday and they're awesome compared to the Gen 1 AP I was using.

Very helpful article. I’ve been struggling with removing them from the case and have been pulling them out by the rubber tip. The method in step one is so much easier (not to mention better for the Pods) and I can’t believe I didn’t figure that one out on my own, it’s so simple.
I have flown with these twice and they work fantastic. Keep in mind though I was watching movies both times so I had the sound going with the noise cancellation.
I'm just the opposite. I love the functionality but I can't deal with the lackluster sound quality. I was looking forward to replacing my Jabra Elite 65s but for me, the sound quality of my music is far too important. Maybe the PowerBeats Pros check all the boxes for me.
very thorough, except for the missing Show Full Article button
