  • Apple debuts $159 AirPods wireless earbuds with W1 wireless chip, 5 hours of battery life

    The fact that the earpods hold 5 hours of charge and the case holds 24 hours of charge, and both can be charged at the same time... that's brilliant. My only worry is about how easy it'll be to lose one of them. At one point during the presentation, Phil showed another product ( a sports earbuds thing?) where the two sides were connected by a short wire. For individual earpieces, that seems smart. I assume a future generation of Earpods will have some sort of GPS so that if you lose one, your iPhone can find it.
    I prefer wireless buds that are connected by a wire. 
    Except the wire does a marvelous job of maintaining a constant tug on them and dragging them out of your ears. With buds as light as these will be, simply wouldn't work out.

    But I have no doubt there will be dozens of 3rd party accessories made just for this purpose.

     No mention how these can be used for charging and listening
    Because no one cares.

  • New photos offer detailed glimpse of 'iPhone 7,' including potential 'piano black' model

    Lookin forward to Apple's own images. I'm sure we've yet to see it exactly right yet.

  • IDC: Apple Watch loses ground as 'basic' wearables boom

    The Apple Watch should be leagues ahead. 

    Its not. 

    Heres why: it's too complicated. 

    I own one. 

    I I really like it 

    but...

    I can can live without it. 

    I dont bother with with most features very often because it's annoying. 

    Cant say say that about my iMac 5k or iPhone 6 Plus.

    watch OS needs a complete rethink. 
    You will always get dislikes for any criticism of Apple stuff but this is well said. Some apps, most, are useless except the fitness apps - which is why comparing to Fitbit makes sense. 
    Anyone that says watchOS needs a rethink obviously hasn't seen watchOS 3, or is a complete idiot.

    Wonder if the same people saying they will never buy an Apple Watch will change their minds when you can start your car with one, get into your locked home with one, use one as your wallet.....Oh wait, you can already do all of those 
    Exactly that the reason I never want an Apple Watch. If someone steals my current watch, I don't need to be afraid that person break into house, use my car or empty my bank account.
    I am still waiting for someone to tell me the real added value of this very expensive gadget:  something that the combination iPhone + Apple Watch has more than iPhone + $50 fitness tracker.  Saving 0.3 seconds by not getting my iPhone out of my pocket is a very limited added value, by no means it amounts to the $300 the Watch costs. 
    False. Troll. Garbage.
