Always stop to smell the flowers, just in case they're weeds

I skimmed an article about the new iPhone Air Buds and one of the major benefits it listed was that if you lose one Air Buddy then good news, Apple will happily sell you the missing Air Bud and not a full set. No info on pricing of individual bits but I'm guessing it's going to be only $130 instead of the full $160 for a new set of them so that's a major benefit.

Other benefits are:
-it will work with other devices but your hands free features will be very limited because they are designed to work with siri.
-they will automatically determine which of your many Bluetooth enabled apple products to play sound from, whether it is your watch, your phone, your laptop, your tablet, or your other tablet.

But it's not proprietary because your friends use the same connector

It's pretty cool being able to use the same charger for your phone as your laptop

I know, right? Like with a Nexus and a Chromebook Pixel!

The future is awesome. But that doesn't mean we should throw away things from the past that work well. Some things are just perfect as they are.

Edit: I can't wait for the Apple Car with a touchscreen for steering and a fuel tank that takes only a proprietary fuel that costs twice as much as gasoline.

Inferior products. Apple would never use Type-C to charge anything due to Lightning being the superior connector

And did someone really try to sell this as Apple making Bluetooth the new standard even though it's already existed for years and people have been able to freely choose to use it or not?
