    Apple, for no reason other than to increase its profits and further lock in customers to its technologies, is forcing its customers to buy expensive, second-rate technology.

    As I've said before,many,many times...They could have a pile of money as big as the moon,but it's not enough. It's never enough! They will never ever decide:"Money? Yeah,we have enough,lets' drop our prices."

      Next they will add a special screen that you can only see if you buy their $100 "i-goggles", which make you see a shittier image of the screen but are more "advanced"

      At one point people need to realize how fucked up this is. I for one am never buying any more Apple products. Sure, the iPhone was very innovative and changed the market. But now they're just assuming we're stupid.

      It's almost as if Apple are a for-profit company, obligated to return as much money to it's investors as they can.

        Well,there does come a point when it's bloody overkill...Keep at it and they will price themselves out of business.

    Oh dear. Where to start…

    forcing its customers to buy expensive, second-rate technology.

    At which point can I expect the Apple police at my door, forcibly taking my credit card and purchasing EarPods?

    All those pricey Apple Beats earpods and headphones you’ve bought recently? They’re all old junk on their way to obsolescence.

    At which point will they stop working?

    What magic? I don’t expect good audio from Apple products, but the AirPods’ sound quality is far worse than Apple’s already “meh” earpods. If you really want to listen to music from your iPhone 6 or earlier, bite the bullet and shell out $250 for the Bose QuietComfort 20.

    Nothing says I'm a discriminating audiophile like citing Bose noise-cancelling headphones.

    whenever you add another link to an audio connection, the quality goes downhill.

    Ha! An additional digital connection placed between the device and the analog headphones is not going to decrease quality. This must be the same guy who buys gold plated HDMI cables.
