I suppose if we could fix Bluetooth then we wouldn’t need a special H1 chip and expensive EarPods?

If only someone else would do the hard work for free, then we wouldn’t have to buy these expensive things!

Why, what’s wrong with bluetooth?

There was a big thread on how the current bluetooth standard is a clusterfuck.

Sadly, all previous versions of the BT standard were also fusterclucks.

It needs proprietary extensions (aptX, whatever apple uses, etc) to be not bad.

I lost my air pods case again last night so almost perfect timing. Last time I lost it, the replacement case was $70 so it has only gotten $10 more expensive

Hm... I might "lose" my AirPods case too. :)

It is not as fun to be honest, you have to book an appointment at the Apple store and they don't just sell you one if you walk-in. Then you would have to wait for their technician to verify Airpods were not stolen for them to finally sell you a new case

Ha, ha, I was actually thinking of the wife (jokingly!)

What I’ll actually do is drop some hints and see what shows up for my birthday in a few months...
