They are proprietary, not BlueTooth, although they do leverage BlueTooth. What, you thought Apple used a standard?

- submeta 10y agoSo my Bose headphones are not going to work with the iPhone 7?
- BatFastard 10y agoExactly!
- ghshephard 10y agoWhere have you read that iPhone7 bluetooth is proprietary? How can they be backwards compatible if they aren't bluetooth? I can't seriously believe Apple would release a phone that is incompatible with the many excellent bluetooth headphones out there.
- ghshephard 10y agoGruber makes it clear, http://daringfireball.net/linked/2016/09/08/airpods-hands-on http://daringfireball.net/linked/2016/09/08/airpods-hands-on, the only thing proprietary is the pairing between the iPhone and Airpods with the case. Other than that, these are just plain bluetooth headphones. They will work fine with other devices, and other devices will work fine with the iPhone 7.
