But, I am sad to say, these...
will be one of the 10% that are FAILS.
What dumb, short sighted, technocratic buffoon thought that these sonic earrings would be a good idea. One observer has already nailed it by exhalting people NOT to buy them. Wait a couple of weeks and train and bus floors will be littered with them.
On top of the utter failure to take into account that they will be highly vulnerable to loss, misplacement and constant dropping, said snot nosed designer thought it would be equally smart to have to CHARGE the damn things. I already have a wireless headset I rarely use because it needs constant charging. Around 10 years ago, the world witnessed a large proportion of its citizens walking around with a flashing piece of plastic stuck in their ears so they could talk and walk simultaneously. Where are THOSE brilliant pieces of junk now?
This will join the Newton, the Portable Mac and Power Mac as one of their epic misfires.

My son is an Apple fan, but it's not what I am used to. My next phone might be an IPhone.

Apple sends jobs overseas and they are considered cool by leftist hypocrites. Suncor keeps mortgage paying jobs in Canada and they are greedy and hated. What the hell am I missing?Quote from: "Herman"
Suncor is necessary for human health, wealth and overall well being. Apple the gadget maker, not so much.

They lost many of their ideals and have become just another faceless hitech corporation. Quality isn't even their purpose anymore. Its profits. The reason why those old apple computers were so good was they were made in america by workers who took pride in their work. The old apple pcs were like the old ford carts were quality was job number 1. They lost a bit on quality control when their producution got shipped off to china

Would most people be able to afford an IPad if it was made in the USA?

No headphone jack is a big mistake, and I would steer clear of buying a phone that needed to use bluetooth for the sake of connecting peripherals to it. It could be an idea to thwart damage from being accidentally submersed in liquid. Are there that many people dropping their phones in the toilet these days? How about they make a screen that doesn't crack easily?
Well, we know that's at the bottom of their to do list because a lot of people who inadvertently crack their screens end up buying a new phone, and they would miss the extra profits from all those clumsy people.

Apple has had a string of bad ideas since Steve Jobs died. I think the Apple watch plated with real gold was probably one of the bigger ones.Quote from: "shin"

The Apple watch idea went over like a led balloon didn't it.

lol I really don't know what they were thinking. It has no potential for mass appeal, and I would think a new product of that price range should have at the very least that prerequisite.
It's not practical to use, it's not unique in function, and it's effectively driven to obsolescence by those two premises alone. If you have an Apple watch, you probably have an iPhone. What can the Apple watch do that you absolutely cannot do on your phone?

I think the company would just as soon forget that failure.
