First there was the iPod. Then came the iPhone. Now Apple has just introduced the AirPod.
Apple’s AirPod is a pair of wireless earphones that connect seamlessly with your iPhone or iWatch. And it doesn’t just operate without meddling wires – infrared sensors detect when the earphones are in your ear, and only play sound when inserted. The AirPod has dual mics that sense the vibrations of your jaw (bone conduction) for noise cancellation.
AirPod comes with a compact charging case with 24 hours of additional battery charge. The earphones last upto 5 hours on a single charge.
AirPods are revolutionary, but they aren’t cheap. AirPods retail at $159.
Apple’s looking to revolutionize Wireless communication in a big way. It has also taken the bold step of removing the headphone jack from its latest iPhone. “We believe in a wireless future. A future where all of your devices intuitively connect.”, said Apple during its launch.
