That is very disappointing to me and really makes me think twice about an upgrade.  I have an older 27 inch iMac and I use target display mode over thunderbolt almost every day.  It is so easy to plug my work MacBook Pro into my personal iMac and use that big screen for multiple spreadsheets or presentations.  

This is is a huge disappointment.  

My only wish is that they had active noise cancellation to compete against the Bose QC30's.  I'm not a big neckband fan but I would like something to replace my Bose QC20's at some point that is wireless and provides outstanding noise cancellation.  Right now that is basically Bose.

Apple gets it right, again...no loopy neck wires, charging in the box, able to use one at a time. If you have to have music doing anything, they look worth it!

It's right, but with one mistake: it needs a loop add-on for around the ear guarantee.

Your problem was solved a while ago.  There will be a version for the Airpods for sure.

These will purely be a relaxing listening experience. Anyone trying to use these in any kind of movement activity will be thoroughly disappointed with how quickly they lose them. Not upgrading from my 6s to the 7 most likely but definitely want these so long as they work with all iOS10 devices (as they should but didn't see it mentioned).

no.  The W1 chip is required so only iPhone 7 for now.  

oops, i was wrong.  Look at the compatibility list:  http://www.apple.com/shop/product/MMEF2AM/A/airpods

My bad.

GPS in the watch?  I guess it would be fine if it made GPS apps faster.  But really, I have absolutely no need or want for another LTE device to add to my data plan for another $10 per month.  Let's eat up battery and spend more money on a couple of redundant features.  Great idea!

Make it faster.  Make it communicate faster with the iPhone.  Battery  is fine for a day right now but if I could get a couple of days that would be better.

The watch needs speed, and maybe some other sensors - like blood pressure, blood sugar, etc.  What if it could identify a heart attack in progress?  This is where advancements can come.  Some, like blood sugar, would be fine as an add-on in a smart band and only needed by those that have elevated sugar issues.  

Better software for exercise measurement and recording would be good too.
