I'm skeptical for a few reasons: * AirPods don't look all that great, even if they are familiar in design * AirPods are expensive * Siri isn't useful enough

I'm skeptical for a few reasons:
* AirPods don't look all that great, even if they are familiar in design
* AirPods are expensive
* Siri isn't useful enough yet
* Talking to Siri in public still feels weird
* Talking to Siri in a shared office environment feels even weirder
- niels_olson 10y ago> Talking to Siri in public still feels weird Even when it's normal, like when my daughter used to have an imaginary friend, talking to your imaginary friend is weird.
- ChrisLTD 10y agoYeah... the utility offered needs to be super compelling to outweigh the weirdness factor. I think that's partially the genius of something like Alexa (and eventually Google Home). You're in your own space so you're more likely to feel comfortable blurting out questions and commands.
- coldtea 10y agoHow is it any different to talking on the phone? In the early nineties only yuppies had cellphones, and people laughed at people talking on the phone on the street, bus etc. Now it's completely normal.
