And I'm definitely not relying on the earbuds they provide.

Like how do you connect the Beats to any other source? macs? Do they have a cable slot? Fuck buying dedicated phone headphones

― stet, Wednesday, 7 September 2016 18:43 (nine years ago)

they connect wireless presumably over bluetooth stet

the adapter will either be lost or forgotten at home

increased storage at same price suggests to me they're not getting as much icloud traction as they'd like

― the last famous person you were surprised to discover was actually (man alive), Wednesday, 7 September 2016 18:48 (nine years ago)

if they woulda kept it 16 at the base that would have been the worst mistake apple had ever made.

― Spottie, Wednesday, 7 September 2016 18:50 (nine years ago)

wait wtf was the price on the airpods

― dr. mercurio arboria (mh 😏), Wednesday, 7 September 2016 18:50 (nine years ago)

32 is still super embarrassing imo

― Spottie, Wednesday, 7 September 2016 18:50 (nine years ago)

did they just skim past it at lightspeed because they cost a shitload

― dr. mercurio arboria (mh 😏), Wednesday, 7 September 2016 18:51 (nine years ago)

sia right

― dr. mercurio arboria (mh 😏), Wednesday, 7 September 2016 18:52 (nine years ago)

$159 bucks for tinny 5 hour earbuds that won't work with anything else lololol

― aaaaaaaauuuuuuuuu (melting robot) (WilliamC), Wednesday, 7 September 2016 18:53 (nine years ago)

the airpods will work macs and ipads

― 𝔠𝔞𝔢𝔨 (caek), Wednesday, 7 September 2016 18:53 (nine years ago)

5 hours and a dental floss case though

― 𝔠𝔞𝔢𝔨 (caek), Wednesday, 7 September 2016 18:54 (nine years ago)

jesus Christ no one is going to buy these fucking airpods

― the last famous person you were surprised to discover was actually (man alive), Wednesday, 7 September 2016 18:55 (nine years ago)

wow that is super pricey

― Spottie, Wednesday, 7 September 2016 18:56 (nine years ago)

― F♯ A♯ (∞), Wednesday, 7 September 2016 18:57 (nine years ago)

i was thinking they would like $59-$69 and I was still going to complain that's too much.

― Spottie, Wednesday, 7 September 2016 18:59 (nine years ago)

rip apple

― marcos, Wednesday, 7 September 2016 19:01 (nine years ago)

My current hypothesis is that the phone hardware including EarPods is all a profitable R&D operation for chip design for the next platform. Every new thing they do involves new modules on the A-series or a new standalone chip in a new and more miniature and power-efficient package. Apple will make some people mad with the no headphone jack but they'll make another few tens of billions of dollars when the chip work all pays off.

lol at 5 hrs

iPad is perfect for annotating PDFs which is my profession atm

― droit au butt (Euler), Wednesday, 7 September 2016 19:03 (nine years ago)

so IDGI, are they only going to update the iPhone mini every other year?

― the last famous person you were surprised to discover was actually (man alive), Wednesday, 7 September 2016 19:04 (nine years ago)

Sounds like a good bet.

― slathered in cream and covered with stickers (silby), Wednesday, 7 September 2016 19:06 (nine years ago)

all you do is annotate pdfs? are you a contract analyst or something?

im a paralegal all I do is make pdfs.

― carthago delenda est (mayor jingleberries), Wednesday, 7 September 2016 19:07 (nine years ago)

I'm on the fence personally. I can totally imagine though that in the next few years plenty of people, especially younger folks, will be fine with abandoning the analog jack, so I'm not exactly gonna call RIP Apple on this one. And I doubt it hurts them that much if they don't sell a ton of Airpods.

― the last famous person you were surprised to discover was actually (man alive), Wednesday, 7 September 2016 19:10 (nine years ago)

Also as much as I hate the Apple watch I feel like tons of runner assholes are gonna want one.

― the last famous person you were surprised to discover was actually (man alive), Wednesday, 7 September 2016 19:11 (nine years ago)

I'm totally down with the 7+. apple is not going anywhere, don't really care they got rid of the headphone jack glad they are including a free dongle tho.

― Spottie, Wednesday, 7 September 2016 19:15 (nine years ago)

wow only "Up to 1 hour longer battery life than iPhone 6s Plus" for the 7+ that's hella weak

― Spottie, Wednesday, 7 September 2016 19:18 (nine years ago)

Batteries are fundamentally hard and the gains in battery life at any given size are gonna be mostly about squeezing more power efficiency out of the cores.

― slathered in cream and covered with stickers (silby), Wednesday, 7 September 2016 19:21 (nine years ago)

right right, still weak tho

― Spottie, Wednesday, 7 September 2016 19:23 (nine years ago)

the worst thing about the iphone is the airpods' 5 hour battery life

imagine having to use them on a plane. you have to account for actually getting to the airport and waiting to get on the plane, etc, that will probably leave you with 50% battery left. i don't think many people will jump on a plane with freshly charged batteries or new ones

― F♯ A♯ (∞), Wednesday, 7 September 2016 19:32 (nine years ago)

well you don't have to use airpods at all. You still have the alternative of (1) some beats bullshit, lol, (2) lightning earpods (3) the dongle (annoying but it's free), or (4) presumably regular old Bluetooth headphones. So no one is going to buy the airpods but it's not so bad for the phone.

― the last famous person you were surprised to discover was actually (man alive), Wednesday, 7 September 2016 19:34 (nine years ago)

i say rip apple in jest, they arent going anywhere, headphone jack thing blows though

― marcos, Wednesday, 7 September 2016 19:35 (nine years ago)

but anyway this company is annoying imo

― marcos, Wednesday, 7 September 2016 19:36 (nine years ago)

still better than alternatives i admit

haha otm

― Spottie, Wednesday, 7 September 2016 19:40 (nine years ago)

kind of OTM but i also think he may be serious

― 龜, Wednesday, 7 September 2016 19:44 (nine years ago)

wireless earbuds are a prestige thing. if you don't believe that, look at the price?

― dr. mercurio arboria (mh 😏), Wednesday, 7 September 2016 19:45 (nine years ago)

I actually really want a ceramic watch but lololol £1300. Still this is the edition now, so they've scrapped that £20k gold one?

― stet, Wednesday, 7 September 2016 19:51 (nine years ago)

Is there a popular model of wireless earbuds that don't have some kind of headband/connector? Design just seems idiotic.

― the last famous person you were surprised to discover was actually (man alive), Wednesday, 7 September 2016 19:53 (nine years ago)

So is the wireless audio BT or something else?

― schwantz, Wednesday, 7 September 2016 19:58 (nine years ago)

gold iwatch discontinued btw, wonder how many they sold in the end. under a 1000 my guess.

― 𝔠𝔞𝔢𝔨 (caek), Wednesday, 7 September 2016 20:02 (nine years ago)

So I get the Nike Plus watch, but what's the deal with the Air Mez?
