shitty headphones that are "truly" wireless don't mean a thing to me. have you heard the bass on those things? awful. i'm a basshead, we exist. apple wants us to buy something else. siri is crap and doesn't recognize my accent so fuck everything about even trying to use siri through the airpods to control my device. meanwhile my rha ma 750 connects just fine to assistant on my pixel Face ID? i like the idea of my hands controlling something. Face ID with Touch ID should have been a no brainer. different usecases! Face ID doesn't work when the phone is on my desk and i just want to quickly fire off an action like changing music- i HAVE to show the phone my face - which quickly changes the dynamics of how i feel about my device(goes from boss-employee to the other way around) sorry but i guess i'm in the small percentage of people that apple designers just flat out ignore coz they can

A shitty phone that had a true touchscreen didn’t mean a lot to many people in 2007, either

> i'm a basshead, we exist. apple wants us to buy something else I have a small intertragic knotch [1]. It’s the part of the ear AirPods (and iPod headphones) latch onto. These products—physically—don’t work for me. That doesn’t mean I can’t recognise their brilliance. (Nor why my market segment is reasonably ignored.)

Expecting the AirPods to be made for "bassheads" is like expecting the Toyota Camry to be a manual transmission two door hot hatch with 400 hp. If you want specialty headphones you need to buy specialty headphones. Face ID is really good. From the way you describe it, I don't think you've actually used it, because the issues you cite don't really exist.
