Nah, it's because Android phones all have fingerprint sensors, even cheap ones. Once Android has a faceid equivalent apple will probably make you give your iPhone a blood sample like in gattaca.

AirPods have extremely limited battery life and die after about two years, so fuckin lol at spending retail on them.

u are welcome

the Haylou buds are a replacement for

https://m.aliexpress.com/item/32947791238.html

that I had been using for the last six months: the Haylou ones are slightly smaller, slightly louder/bassier and have a better sound-locking fit to my ear holes but the touch sensitive controls are a little vague - did I double-tap to the next song and it starts quiet or did I pause? - where the QCY ones have a definite mechanical click button; take your pick :o:

i was ambivalent about the regular pods, they're ok for coming with it but weren't very good with poor noise isolation and quality, and there are much better even $30 range earbuds like the AKG. but I would highly recommend the jabra elite 65t wireless earbuds. i had an iphone 6s which i destroyed by stupidly walking into a lagoon in hawaii with it in my swim-shorts pocket, fortunately my girlfriend had an old iphone 7 in the desk backhome that i took over as mine but i was annoyed with no headphone jack. the jabras work very well and even have a pass-through feature, good noise isolation, quality, and lasts 3 hrs with a portable charger for another 3 charges. it's so nice not having to deal with cords honestly, the minute you put them into your pocket they tangle up into 10 knots as if by magic

thank god it still has a home button, i absolutely loving hate her XS without it. i genuinely can't ever consider "upgrading" to a new phone if that's what they're doing

nah, i got the same problem. i can't wear the things for more than 20 minutes maybe without wanting to get them out of my ears. i tried airpods and have the same issue. surprisingly, shoving hard plastic into my ear isn't comfortable! i got the powerbeats pro tho and they are the airpod tech put into something that's actually comfortable and they own bones other than the case being gigantic. (they are, in fact, better than the airpods as they have actual buttons rather than using taps and gestures or whatever.) basically, i totally understand why people like airpods, and i would if they worked for me ears at all.
