I'm sure by now you've all heard the news about the new iPhone 7. It's going to have a better camera. It starts with a larger storage capacity. A better battery life.
But.
Apple wants you to fork another $159 for wireless things called Air Pods.
There are a number of reasons why these won't work for me.
1. I can't stick things in my ears. It feels weird. I've tried earphones like that and they always pop out.
2. I'm not paying $159. That's ridiculous. I'm not Jay Z. $159 is probably like a penny to him, but like $159 to me.
3. I have kids. They'll break them.
4. I'm clumsy. I'll break them.
5. I'll lose them. Trust me. Or I'll lose just one and never find it again.
6. The cats will think it's a toy. They'll bat them all over the house.
6. I can only run with big bulky earphones. See them? I hate to run to begin with. If I'm wrestling with my ear pieces, I'm going to really get pissed off.
7. The Air Pods look like hairdryers. For Barbies.
Am I alone in not liking the Air Pods? Or is everyone else forking over $159 without complaint?

I'm with you on this one! I'd lose them and cry because I paid an outrageous price. They're a no-go for me.
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way! I feel like either I will 1) lose them or 2) get them stuck in my ear!
ReplyDeleteHaha! Yeah I have wireless bose headphones. I'll be using those. I hate those ear sticking ones, yuck...its unsanitary too!
ReplyDeleteThe boss headphones are awesome
DeleteThe boss headphones are awesome
DeleteHaha. No, you're not alone. They will so easily be lost it's not funny!
ReplyDeleteit's such an insane price for them! No thank you!
ReplyDeleteHaha hairdryers for barbies. I can't even count the number of barbie shoes I lost as a kid. I probably wouldn't fork over what accounts for more than 3-months of a water bill for earbuds either. Good call.
ReplyDeleteThey are getting more expensive by each release, plus, I'm not very adaptive to change.., so I'm with you on the new change.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you! I like to have cheap $20 headphones that I don't need to worry about losing or breaking since they're so fragile and small to begin with. I love Apple but forcing customers to buy yet another apple product instead of generic headphones is ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of them, and I think having no cord would be nice in the moment I'm using them. But how in the world does anyone keep track of them for longer than an hour?
ReplyDeleteThey do look like hairdryers! I'm passing on these, too...
ReplyDeleteUghhh this whole thing drives me insane!!!! Why Apple did this bibles my mind!

DeleteI 100% agree with you on all fronts about these Air Pods. I don't like that Apple is basically taking away people's options. The only silver lining is that there are some cheaper alternatives to the Air Pods out there.

Yup, I'll be getting those.
DeleteOh my hubby had one and he loves it... but I am not a big fan of them :P
ReplyDeleteI think these air pods are the worse idea apple has had in a long while. I refuse to spend $160 on them for basically all of the reasons you listed. I heard that a pair comes with the iphone 7...and that you also get what every necessary cords to make them normal headphones. I don't know the truth in this, but I'd be scared to use these things outside the house!
ReplyDeleteIt annoys me that they'll do any new gimmick just to get us to fork over more money. Soooo not fussed! And yup, I'm sure I'll lose them in 2 seconds flat. No thanks!!
ReplyDeleteI'm not so keen on the iphone 7 either. It's barely changed!
ReplyDeleteI'm not an Apple fan although I did have an iPhone once. I think mobile phone tech has reached a plateau and its just marginal gains now.
ReplyDeleteI love my Apple products, but $160 is a little steep even for me. and i don't listen to music on headphones much, so I'll just wait and see what the reviews are before I even consider getting them :)
ReplyDeleteWhat?? That's ridiculous! I will not be buying them at all. UGH.
ReplyDeleteThere's absolutely no interest to buy these.They look easily misplace able. I will worry too much
ReplyDeleteThere's absolutely no interest to buy these.They look easily misplace able. I will worry too much
ReplyDeleteYup, same here!
DeleteThe kids will probably take them and actually use them as hairdryers for Barbies! Really rich Barbies who will throw down $159 for one.
