Apple patents all sorts of weird shit. 99% of it never gets made. They just want the money from patent litigation and licensing.

I have earbuds that don’t need to be charged and use a cable for easy connectivity and sound quality.
You know what's easier than a cable? No cable.
I'll give you sound quality, but the whole reason that wireless earbuds took off is the hassle of wires.
Fight! Fight! Fight!

Both have their pros and cons. I miss my Westone 1 IEMs that I had back in college. My buddy's dog chewed them up. They were comfortable and super light, had great sound quality, a cord that wasn't obnoxious. Not having a cord is great though too especially when I'm working. Multipoint connection is great too. I can be listening to stuff on my phone with it in my pocket, no cable getting in the way, and when I get a call on Teams, my Pixel Buds just switch over to the computer.
it kills me that urbanears stopped making the Plattan Bluetooth model, it was basically the perfect design for on-ear headphones
Note the 3.5mm jack, it could do both wireless and wired, and you could even use the jack to output music! like come on how is this not the standard design? i have seen the light and now every time i look at other headphones they just seem obviously subpar
I really dont get cable simping here on Lemmy. It's awful UX and yall can't hear the sound difference anyway lmao

nano
Doesn't the Apple Watch already fulfill the function of an iPod Nano? It works with Bluetooth headphones and has 16 GB of storage you can use for music, which is a lot by iPod Nano standards.
My series 9 has 64GB. I have multiple playlists downloaded to it which is great for the gym. You can also just stream music from it over wifi or cellular.
Pretty sure a Nano would last far more with a single charge though
I mean, this wouldn't be all that stupid imo. Add some Apple watch functionality like fitness detection and easy syncing between phone and iPod Nano Buds, this would be a solid addition to a runner's arsenal leaving no need to carry your $1000 phone on a run. Suppose you could use your watch for that and leave the case at home though. But more options aren't a bad thing, not everyone has or wants a watch.

I mean, IF they also add internal storage for mp3 files and it would act as an oldschool mp3-player/ipod, that would be actually cool … but I don’t need another display … you already have one on your phone and maybe also on your wrist
Tbf this might be the most original thing apple has done.
I would agree, but yet again, this is something I've seen 4 other versions of before apple gets to it.
Um...just yesterday Ive seen JBL tour pro 3 (sth like that).
No not like those, the difference is Apple did it first like every thing else they copied.
It's almost a shame that they decided to go with wide instead of tall.
I'm surprised nobody has done yet as I've seen all sorts of features be added to earphone cases. Maybe a decent touchscreen is not yet cheap enough to throw at some case without the profit margin of the apple brand.
My coworker bought an ear bud case that he can play flappy bird on.
They have done it. There's lots of Chinese earbuds with screens. Even JBL did it.
can they even patent that? its already a thing that made it to production on at least one brand that sells in north america and another two or more in china
I was gonna say, pretty sure I’ve seen something like this on Amazon already, except from some weird Chinese company.
