604: Minimized Embiggening

But this smells so much like, you know, when they say like, this is one computer and if you pay more money, you can get, you know, more RAM in it or whatever. I don't know if these pieces of hardware are different. And in the end, it doesn't really matter because I don't think it's going to be particularly easy to buy an AirPods 4 and hack it to enable the noise canceling.

But if the hardware really is identical, that will be something. Because then it's like... Like, why are you... It's not like the cheap one is, like, $99, right? The cheap one is still $130, and the expensive one is $180. And, like, I don't quite understand.

And especially since they're... Like, the case feature, like, having a speaker that, like, you know, so you can find your case when you lose it, like... that should kind of be an $130 one too, because that's a useful feature. That's not like a pro feature. That's I lost my case feature. Whereas noise canceling, I can see.

But anyway, we'll see when somebody cracks these things open, if they can slice it open and find out like, Is there any hardware difference whatsoever between them? Because if there's not, this will be another strange hardware, I think, from Apple, kind of like the 12 gigabytes of RAM and the 8 gigabyte iPad Pro.

Yeah, I don't think it tells anything because these things are so lightweight that even if the hardware was different, who's to say it wouldn't weigh the same? We'll find out when they tear them down. Yeah, we'll see.

yeah as i as i was saying this is i like the my sedans of my desktop max with big gpus i also like the airpods that don't go in your ear holes and generally those that design does not get the fancy features it's been two generations of airpods pro getting all their fancy features and their transparency mode and all this other stuff and the plain old airpods that i like eh

No, you don't get that stuff. And so I'm excited this year that they brought most of those features to the ones that don't go in your ear. Now, granted, the fact that they don't go in my ear means the noise canceling is not going to be as good for obvious physical reasons. They're not literally sealing my ear hole, right?

And Apple itself says that the AirPods Pro have, quote, two times better noise canceling. And I believe it. Like, I get it. But I just don't like things in my ear holes. So I think it's great that I get all these features that I've been hearing about. Everybody rave about on the AirPods that they like. And I'm going to get them in the kind that I like.

Now, the possible downside is they did subtly change the shape of these AirPods. Uh, they've done it, what, there's been three different shapes. There's the original AirPod shape, there's the one that I have now, which is AirPods 3 or whatever, and then there's these new ones.

And every time they change the shape, there's a possibility that the thing that used to fit in your ear nice and comfy is not going to. The main hope I have is that the AirPods 3 have always felt a little...
