Almost forgot: I wonder what Apple will do when it comes time for me to perform a “battery replacement” on my AirPods 1? If I wait long enough for their inventory to clear out, perhaps they will replace them with the new H1 variant??? 

My AirPods 1 are still going strong despite being gnawed on several times by my toddler and several head-height drops... so I’ll probably wait for a more significant upgrade. Personally, wireless charging of the case out-of-the-box isn’t a major “want” at all. I’ve yet to run the case down to near-depleted.

My personal bet is the black matte version will release at or close to the same time as a newer iPhone, which possibly could have a similar color-coating to make them less slippery as well. Would be nice for a fall 2019 release but I could wait until 2020 or even 2021 since my launch iPhone X is just fine and the A12X in my iPad Pro’s have proved to me that the 2018 iPhones- and possibly this years iPhone’s, won’t have anything significant for me to upgrade. 

What I’m really wishing for sooner rather than later is an upgrade to my ‘17 MBP15 that has an e-sim! Maybe when 5G becomes ubiquitous?
