2:33 just a quick note AirPods 4 are actually on the left and the 3’s are on the right.

I miss the tap sensors so much. Way easier than pinching.

[anthonyturner]

I think considering most people still have iPhones with lightning cables I feel like they should include a usb c in the box. That’s just me though

[sonny]

I’ve never owned AirPods. I might get the 4 with active noise cancelling. I don’t like putting things in my ear canal with the silicon tips.

[mattk]

4th gen and they still can’t figure out we still want colors. At least black

[tomaskey]

Nowadays for small devices I prefer to get my own cables and chargers. Phones, tablets, and computers should come with a cable and charger imo.

[thinkingoutloud]

They need to include the usb c for at least a couple more generations. I’m still on the 14 and not looking to upgrade any time soon.

[kumarmundur]

Still having the first AirPods Pro. Working perfectly!!!

[JCY_Shamrock]

I have air pod 3 pros and please give me advice but I think they are the same if not better than these having the plastic part that makes them so comfortable

[vencemartinez]

If I’m paying 1k or more for a new iPhone I expect a charger, wired earbuds, and a charger box with stickers like back in the day same with any other apple product🙌🏽!!!!

[jesusgalvez]

Does the absence?of the U 1 chip mean the the battery percentage won’t appear on my i-phone even if the case is closed?

[snakeman]

They should include a cable imo especially for people with iPhone 14 and older

[edgarruiz]

I have the AirPods Pro with lightning. Should I get the 4s?

[douglasseanc]

Note to those who wanna buy the 4’s
If you have struggled in the past with the pods falling research the pros with the silicon

[TOBY]

So do the airpods 4 anc charge on magsafe as well? Like the one used on iphones

[TQo]

I have the AirPods 2 Pro and Im 100% satisfied with them but theyre slowly giving up on life.

Should I buy the same ones again or buy AirPods 4 with ANC?

[otinauj]

how do you connect them to my computer? theres no back button

[davidvong]

I went from AirPod pro 2 to AirPod 4 and it doesn’t have volume swipe control. This is a huge feature loss.

[robomacman]

Looking very forward to the AirPod 4 ANC - it's been what I've been waiting for. For Me and My Ears: The AP Pro tips never felt comfortable in my ears. AP2 always fit best. AP3 would easily fall out. Hopefully, AP4 ANC solves my loud AC background noise problem while watching AppleTV.

Which model acts like hearing aids? I thought I saw this in Apple’s presentation
