I think I'd rather just eliminate the ringing portion of a phone call (when I have airpods in) and instead just let a trusted list of contacts talk directly into my ear (1-way) until I "answer" and open up a 2-way channel.
- zamadatix 3y agoThe "answer" button seems to serve to also say "I'm ready to listen" as much as it does to say "I'm ready to say". IMO this kind of goal is better covered by voice messages, or, at least, starting with a voice message. This allows the receiver to pick when they are ready to hear it (including immediately), replay it as needed, and choose when they respond (if at all). Many of these are benefits for the sender as much as the receiver.
- packetlost 3y agoLet's have both. If you have it on do-not-disturb or don't pick it, it goes to a voice message with speech-to-text.
- kevinsundar 3y agoIsn't this the walkie talkie feature built into the Apple Watch? Could be ported over to iPhone.
- MagicMoonlight 3y agoYeah I want “Apple Intercom” or something where me and my girlfriend can have linked airpods and it’s like a spy movie. Perfect for communicating in loud places or crowds without requiring data.
- RandallBrown 3y agoNot sure if you ever had a Nextel phone, but they had a cellular walkie talkie feature for awhile. It was pretty popular in my high school circa 2003, but I remember kinda hating it.
