AirPods 2! The case now comes with Wireless Charging!

AirPods users can buy just the AirPods Wireless Charging Case itself too for S$119. Yikes!

I think cause now Apple is ‘applying’ the licence with IMDA to sell them. So once it’s approved, they will start selling.

Guess now it is just the announcement first.

I see. Thanks for the info.

US, HK, JP, etc. all got stocks already. I thought SG OOS already. Fingers crossed for the launch in Singapore.

They just add in a wireless charge case.. the airpods spec doesn't look much diff from gen 1

Kinda disappointed as i was waiting for the matte black version.....

 

[HexenHeretic]

What’s different from gen1 other than the case?
If nothing significant then I don’t think I would upgrade...

Faster connect (useless), longer battery (also useless)

No need double tap for invoking siri if anyone even bothered using it...

Same battery life. Just improve talk time

Sadly no black option and no new design for battery life.

Shall skip and wait for new revision.

But for those first day AirPod owners.
The battery life is also

kinda lame. e freaking wireless case is $119 n y still no color options? c'mon Tim Apple!

As a fan of matte black, thumbs down lol. But honestly, the price is just ridiculous. I know the software integration of AirPods and iPhone/Apple Watch are great but $300 really?

Anyone knows if there’s any difference between SG & Japan art?

Japan is approximately 10% cheaper.

Not too enthusiastic too. But my current AirPods battery is taking a toll, now cannot fully charge to 100%. Hope can still last until next new model while I also use my B&O E8 2.0.

Tiagong they releasing a new version of iPod Touch just because iPhones are expensive so they want to go back to how it was in 2008. If there is a time where Apple misses Jobs direction, it is now.

the event next week is for their new streaming services.. probably don't wanna mix up the message.

plus all these new products are just refreshes (spec bumps). not worth a mention during the event.
