> Bose QC35 II for example can store multiple bluetooth connections on the device and switch between them I have these and it’s annoying to switch them because they’re stored and switched via the app - if you’re switching between more than 2 devices. The Bose anc also don’t have particularly good audio either so I’m interested to see what the Apple offering sounds like. In general, there’s a bunch of little annoyances with the current anc devices available (audio quality, uncomfortable, ugly, etc) that I’d like to see Apple fix.

Not true, you can cycle between previously connected devices by long holding the power switch in the on position. You can also add new connections and wipe all connections via that switch. I have them and never need to use the app. Read the manual.

  Again, this is another thing where Apple improve for an “already solved problem”. You don’t need to press any buttons. Just interact with your devices as normal and your audio connection switches automatically as if sound were playing through the device’s respective speakers. In fact there may be a downside because sometimes I actually need to take my AirPods out to verify that audio is still playing through them since the audio just transferred so fast.

    The Bose phones also do fast and automatic switching between the last two connected devices. The button shuffle is only needed to switch to other previously connected devices (and that also takes only another few seconds). Also one of my devices is a Windows PC. I don’t know if AirPods work equally well with non-Apple sources.

    I don’t call that an improvement. Having my audio switch from the meeting I’m currently in to the 400th spam call of the day isn’t an improvement over getting to ignore the call entirely.
