Uncomfortable is pretty Apple-like.
Mightly/puck mouse
Sharp MacBooks of the past
iPhone 4/4S, etc.
The grills on the side have got to be...
...mics for noise cancellation. Previous incarnations have had simple holes for acoustic purposes, so the metal grills make a design connection to the phone itself.

Good point...
You could have also said the same abut Apple TV, but thats for another topic.
Also, wouldn't surprise me in the lease if Apples *own* earphone were noise-cancelling (maybe for future)

Seems legit--I guess most headphones do that.
But I'm still not sure which side to stick in my ear...
It's less than two weeks until a likely announcement. Seems like they did a pretty standard job a la status quo.
Cool quotes though....
Looks great and stylish
But there is one bad sight of this - no surprise will be on iPhone 5 launch day

ou yes!

They are a little like the Bose as far as shape, however the new Bose IE2 use the StayHear tips and they are comfortable yet won't fall out. I assume however those things are patented big time.
noise cancellation
if these are legit, this is pretty great - almost for sure those slits on the buds are mics for noise cancellation, meaning that the processing is being done at the phone level, and opens the door for headphone manufacturers to build really nice buds with this built in for fairly cheap (current noise cancellation headphones have do their own processing).
it also means that almost everybody that gets this is going to get a big bump up in terms of sound quality from the old style - it won't be audiophile quality, but most people that invest in good headphones know how it can make a dramatic difference in your music experience, and this will almost certainly be one of the new iphone's major selling points.
being able to eliminate outside noise allows you to really hear your music. an interesting experiment is just to take your current headphones, and listen with just one bud in while you are in a noisy environment, then put the second one in, and compare what you can hear. it's not a scientific experiment, but it goes a long way to showing you how your perception of the music changes when you are hearing other sounds.

It's not overly long winded. Most of the time he was complaining about people calling it the "iPhone 5"
I just wonder, who else never bothered to unpack their original Apple headphones that came with their iPhone, iPod etc.?

Actually.. me...... for some "weird" reason I like to spend $35 on anther pair, just for the protective sleeve the earphones go into when not used.
