    AirPods: which silicone buds to get for running?

    Hi everyone. I bought the new AirPods and they fit perfectly when biking and walking. But today I took them out for a run, and at first I found I had to push them back in every 3 minutes or so due to the velocity of each footstep rocking them slightly loose. Later when I started to sweat it...

    Quicker switching of AirPods between devices

    I have been very pleased with AirPods over the past couple years. There is one thing that would make them even more useful to me, and that is quicker or automatic switching between devices. My Bose QC35 headphones connect to my iPhone and Mac simultaneously, so if I'm watching a video or...

    AirPods liquid damage

    Hello, I have a quick question: Would Apple repair AirPods unfortunately damaged by a liquid spillage if I didn't buy it through them? I brought the AirPods from John Lewis, but their guarantee doesn't include accidental damage. But if I paid for a repair by Apple, would they do it? Thanks,

    When do you guys think we will see AirPower and the new AirPods with wireless charging? Was hoping AirPower would roll out along side the new Battery Cases but it didn't. Do you think we will have to wait for a major product launch to see AirPower? Like at a Mac event or when they update...
