I ask Siri to skip the current track sometimes, because my $600 airpods max couldn’t be bothered to make their buttons configurable. That’s about the only time I use or want to use “AI” on my phone ever – and I wish I didn’t have to do even that. Edit: hot damn I just learned double clicking the crown skips the track, later Siri!

Double click the digital crown, no?

  Ah! Coulda sworn I tried that… thanks! Weird that its not listed in the settings menu with all the other shortcuts.

  Ladies and gentlemen, behold the famous Apple user experience.

    Double click to skip, triple click to track back on a primary button has been the standard headphone input for at least 15 years…

      And we're only finding out now...

        It explains this to the user (with graphics!) the first time you connect them to your phone, in a large modal pop-up. Some people just can’t be bothered read.

        Just “Forgot” then reassociated the pods and saw no such animation. I did see some animation the first time I connected, but I may have skipped through it because I was excited to try out my $600 headphones and it was in the way of me and the music. Still no answer for why the headphones setting page lists every shortcut except skip/prev. If AI was real, Siri would tell me I can simply triple press the crown when I ask it to skip the track while wearing airpods. Or at least be able to answer when I directly ask it “how to skip a track when wearing airpods max”. As is, it just runs a google search and tells me to figure it out myself. Thanks.

  Is that how you treat all your users? “Using my product is better than a bullet in your brain so shut up and take it.”
