oh cool, more poo poo for me to throw in my bag when i travel

seems pretty straightforward to me. it's just a thing you put them in when you take them out of your ears. seems better than carrying them loose anyway.
but i lol at the idea of some shmuck dropping an airpod on the train or something and having to comb under the seat for it and stuff. the wire is actually useful and succeeds at simplifying poo poo such as keeping your phone and the headset together

it's hard for me to believe that removing the headphone jack is what allowed them to fit the second camera or the stereo speakers but what do I know

the render they showed implied that the haptic engine was what took up the space of the headphone jack

you know, so the home button feels better

its not complex, i agree, but its yet another thing i need to put electrons into all my poo poo. its not the thing i want to use, its a thing i need to carry around to use the thing i want to use. normal headphones dont have this issue by not requiring some kind of charging station like its the tesla of loving headphones

they can use Bluetooth so you can use them with your iPad and Mac. but note that the webpage states you need an iCloud account and the latest version of iOS / macOS. in order to use Bluetooth earbuds.

my thinkpad x220 tablet runs the latest version of macos and will be more capable than the iphone because i can also plug wired headphones into it

also, they apparently don't use Bluetooth, but a special Apple bluetooth-like protocol using their W1 chip, in the manner of Logitech

Logitech wireless devices that aren't Bluetooth (i.e. with the universal receiver) use an off-the-shelf NRF24 chip

stereo speakers that are, what, an inch apart? perfect for stereo audio

stereo speakers on a phone are useless garbage marketing points and nothing more.

the first android phone with stereo speakers was the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play, released in 2011.

five years later, apple copies android's useless marketing points.

My favorite part was when they had their little wrapup infomercial for the iphone 7 that they added little concenctric cartoon sound-broadcasting circles over footage of the phone to illustrate the stereo speakers
