I think the distinction is that its not just turning off one of the phones. Its switching from stereo to mono so you can still hear everything you previously required both sides of the stereo mix (left + right) for. Definitely not a big jump from the other feature, but still goes to show how they are thinking about the small details.
- btreecat 10y agoThat's true, it shows some attention to detail in the UX of the device. I don't think however people were having a "crippled" xp when using just one wired earbud in "mono" rather than "combined stereo" I think the feature really should be "senses when individual pods are in use" and because of that feature, some automatic tasks can be applied like combining stereo or pausing the music. I guess I am just complaining that it feels like they used one feature and got two marketing points out of it, which is fair game.
