I hope Apple will introduce a better codec for Bluetooth, way behind the actual AAC 256. But not the cable again…
Say you get a loaner car and you want to listen to music from your phone. You can either connect a 3.5 mm to 3.5 mm cable between your phone and the car and start playback, or you can go into the car settings, start bluetooth pairing, wait for the device to be found, pair the devices, make sure that your address book is not shared via Bluetooth and stored in the car's memory and then start playback (and probably remove the pairing from both ends at the end of it all).
The noise cancelling is nice, but I can live without it. For the record I have never dropped my phone due to the headphone jack.
If you lose your headphones is your problem, not Apple :-) what would absolutely be implemented is a better codec for hi res BT Audio but also if there is a jack I prefer to override the internet DAC with digital exit.
I lose my headphones often enough for it to be a problem, had they been $300+ (which they are, in sweden).
Me losing my head phones becomes apples problem, since other manufacturers give me better options. I want an iphone, but this shit about being "brave" and removing the 3.5mm jack makes me vomit a little in my mouth.
My colleagues that bought the airpods pro have started having battery life issues now. Changing the batteries at an apple store costs an eye-watering ~1000kr.
That is completely bollocks.
I don’t think you’ll see an improvement before next year.
