Apple 'AirPods' to target high end of headphone market with custom 'Bluetooth-like' low-power tech
I wonder if they would fall out less if they weren't tethered to a cord that was heavier than the buds themselves, and constantly being tugged by the phone?gilly017 said:I would love to use the earbuds. But alas, the things never fit my ear. Always falls out.
Sigh.

Yeah I have them. They are junk. That's why they are $20. I bought them for use while mowing the lawn since I don't want to damage any decent pair of headphones.mj web said:Bluetooth-like, as in proprietary? For $20 one can purchase QY8 Bluetooth wireless earbuds on Amazon. They are spectacular, especially considering the cost! No reason to reinvent the wheel. I doubt the audio quality on Apple's "new" pods will be discernibly better. But I suspect the cost will be 10x+ more. Try the QY8 folks. Returnable if not to your liking.
If that's what you find to be high quality, you're not the market for the product Apple is making.

Alleged Apple trademark filings reveal 'Iris Engine,' 'AirPod Case,' 'Home Hub,' 'Control Strip,' '
Your guess is correct.thewhitefalcon said:Iris Engine could be either for the camera or an iris scanner. From the associated Iris Image Engine trademark, my guess is it's related to the dual cameras.
Apple may be looking in to Iris Scanning, on the off chance there is something of value there, but they know as well as everyone knows that it is inefficient, clunky, somewhat dangerous, and wholly unnecessary for their current product lineup.

So what? I want Apple to keep going beyond and delivering the best quality available. Not fitting ideas into boring tired "standards".Dracarys said:So they're choosing yet another proprietary method... Sigh.
Your complaint is boring.

I'm really tired of the idiots we have to suffer through. I really think they offer nothing to the discussion at all.johnny mozzarella said:

Apple says, "we can do better" and then they do...and the idiots complain OH WHY YOU GOTTA BE PROPRIETARY.
