AirPod is one of my all-time favorite Apple product. I never want to go back to wired ones. One of the first things I’ll do when buying the second generation though is disabling the least favorite ‘product’: Siri
this, it's just bobbins. tried it a few times while running to change track etc. , NEVER worked. What's the point. Matte black version, and slightly improved next track previous track play pause implementation and I'm in
Too bad your experience is so much different from mine. I agree that they at least should introduce a matte black option (and possibly others). Especially the case can be incredibly hard to find.
which brings me to another improvement I’d suggest. You currently can’t “find iPhone” the AirPods case (why do they still call that app ‘Find IPhone’ if the majority of my devices aren’t the iPhone!) but you can find the individual earbuds once they are out of the case. That’s dumb. I would want both the earbuds and the case to beep and be traceable.
The thing I find a little funny is that Apple teased this functionality themselves last September and I’ve been waiting to see if anyone else noticed and still I haven’t read a single story or comment. Go back and watch the intro film for the September keynote, and as the woman gets to the pond she summons Siri with the phrase and asks for quickest route. The only thing in proximity is the AirPods. I was almost certain then that it was coming soon. if anyone now writes this up I want credit lol.
Nah you just missed it, it was discussed.
Really?! Damn and blast.... For ages I couldn’t believe that nobody had noticed.
I impulse bought some AirPods two weeks ago. You are welcome (to all those waiting for an update)!
That said, I am loving them! No regrets...
Both of mine had battery issues after two years of heavy use so I just replaced them before Christmas too :-(
Yeah I have an original pair from Day 1, and after daily use the charge cycles have taken their toll, the left pod runs out of juice fairly quick. It's $49 to have a single battery replaced, but I'm going to so I can give them to family at some point.
Yeah my left runs out quicker too...AppleExposed said:
LOVE my AirPods. Echoing others, they are my favorite Apple product/accessory EVER.
Since the day I bought them a year and a half ago, I promised that if anything ever happened to them, I wouldn't hesitate to drop another $160 on a pair and that still holds true to this day.
They've survived several drops on concrete floors, sweat, rain, the case is stained from blue jean dye, and the ear sensors no longer work (they think they're in my ears anytime they're out of the case), but the batteries still last longer than advertised and they sound like new.
I'll definitely grab a fresh pair of version 2 of the AirPods as long as they retain the core values of the originals.
It's OK if Aipods 2 comes with health related bells and whistles but basic job of every new version of Airpod is improved sound quality and longer battery life. So, if two new versions of airpods than all good. One simple like current with improvements and other with health sensors.
Personally I'm not holding out for increased battery life. Lithium-ion batteries haven't changed much, so the smaller the device the less room there is for increased battery size.
