airpods - first thoughts


Let's talk about apple ear  airpods today.

On first impression, it look like an effortless spin off of apple to push the wireless earbuds out.

If you look into details based on renderings/photos, it is impressive on the design front.

case
  1. the most overlook object is the case. I wonder if there are Marc Newson's touch on the pod case.
  2. Second, the case i guess, inspired by and look like a candy box for the most intuitive user experience.
  3. There is only 1 button on the back. 
  4. The internal part of the 3D is hard to build, because I build an earphone case before, it is insanity.
  5. Rounded because there are no sharp edges, and easy to slip into pocket and bag.
airpods
  1. There is no physical button. Just tap on the surface.
  2. Same old design, but if you look closer at the chrome charging tip cross section. It is now rounded as compared to current oval profile. Just some design details.
  3. Maintain the same snow white language. 
  4. you don't need a manual to start (duh of course, it's apple)

Singapore retails for S$238.
