I haven't owned any other Bluetooth headphones that can charge as fast as the AirPods, sense when they are in your ear and pause your music if you take one out, or are as small and light as the AirPods. What headphones did Apple copy?
- macintux 9y agoI'd be very interested in an objective comparison between AirPods and every other true wireless earbud that existed at the time. I have no doubt the AirPods would win on nearly any measure.
- cptskippy 9y agoBeing better doesn't make them less of a copy. Fast charging was a thing before Apple put it in AirPods. Motorola did the pausing trick long before Apple and I believe Bose or Sony did it too. Managing to best everyone else at their best feature is what the AirPods do but nothing they do is innovative.
- innocentoldguy 9y agoThe very definition of the word "innovative" is "featuring new methods, both advanced and original." If Apple has been able to best everyone at their best feature, then, by definition, AirPods are innovative since they do things that nobody else has ever been able to do before, right?
- cptskippy 9y ago> "featuring new methods, both advanced and original." When you Google the word "innovative" that's almost the definition that comes up, only slightly different punctuation. Google says "featuring new methods; advanced and original." In any case it's stating that to be innovative the method must be new, advanced, AND original. If it's not all three, then it's not innovative.
