I'm sure they will be tiny revenue earners just like all Apple's other non-iPhone divisions /s 

Do you know a single person anywhere in the world that is even remotely interested in paying for Apple's original video content? Because you'd be the first.

I may be missing something here, what exactly do they mean with Hey Siri support????  Hey Siri works just fine by double tapping the AirPod if my iPhone is within range.

$79 for the wireless charging case. Apple is effing crazy. I picked up a case at the local Apple reseller for $30. I could see paying more if it offered more and still the sound quality of the AirPods is fair to partly cloudy. But to each his or her own. 

I'm curious what you bought. Do you have an Amazon link or something?

They are basically sleeves for the current AirPods case, ranging from $20-40.  
$20
$36
$40
$79 for Apple's case may be worth it for those who want OEM peace of mind.  For others, not so much.  YMMV

Most likely I’ll be selling my old airpods for around $100, and paying $100 to get longer battery life plus wireless charging plus hey Siri which will be great for the car. A much better deal than my first airpods purchase.

$100 when the regular price for new is only $60 more. Well good luck with that. I don't understand people buying earbuds that have been in someone else's ears. Not sanitary.

Outstanding!...  My first generation were really getting tired, down to about an hour battery life, less if on the phone.  Black would have been nice, but I'll take 'em!  Ordered

Based on my workflow, frugality and security concerns with T2 controller and soldered on storage, I use external media for most of my offloading via NVMe USB-C drives and keep the core OS and targeted apps internal. 256GB is usually enough with 512GB being the max needed. If somehow my Macbook Pro 15 2018 goes to the big Steve Jobs Theatre in the sky, I can quickly just attach another Mac and keep working.

Those times I need to take a project(s) with me, I can either move it to local internal storage or just take the external drive with me.

This isn't anything new with me. I've been this way ever since my SE/30 died on me many moons ago along with its internal SCSI drive and I went into panic mode. Since then, the bulk of project/mission critical files has been external depending on the setup (IE, Cheese Grater I installed OS on one internal drive and projects, files on another).

It just makes financial sense now on top of everything else.
