Totally now use to not having a button.
i'm almost a day in and i can feel myself getting used to not having home button. really my biggest gripe, now having upgraded youtube so i can zoom to full screen, is clearing background apps. i've always done this, and it's just not as quick or smooth. i wish when you swipe up and hold to bring up all of the background apps you could then just swipe up on them to clear them. instead you have to hold them for a split second and then swipe up to clear them. minor gripe, but that's my main one so far.
Oh yeah, I also ran a speed check on my phone and it's drastically faster (300mbps - 400mbps) than what i should get (200mbps). My speed plan is for 200mbps through my isp. anyone know how this is happening? none of my other devices get faster than the 200 down, doesn't make sense.

I've ran sprints with mine...no problem. Might just fit better for my ears than others.

I wish they'd come out with AirPods that didn't have that long "piece" coming off of it. Seems weird.
The black skin though does make it look 90% better.

I honestly don't mind the design that much at all.
I might put the black skins on my christmas list though.

The AirPods stay in pretty good without them, however there is just no way in hell they will ever come out with them.

This is by far the biggest downfall of this phone. Multitasking has really been hindered by these new gestures. I'd rather see them use the little bar at that you swipe up as a button and go back to the old gestures for multitasking.

It's a split second hold ONCE and then you can swipe up as much as you want to exit apps. It's not a big deal at all.

The whole experience is worse for it. The swipe up and hold to get to the multitasking window is just as bad. Needs to be changed.
The gesture fragmentation across devices is getting ridiculous too.

Why not just put three digital buttons at the bottom like Android? They're complicating something that doesn't need to be complicated.

Well, I think the 8 and 8+ are the end of the home button.

iPad has some very different gestures as well.

I gotta admit, I've never really wanted a pair of those AirPods until I saw the black skin on em. Now they don't look bad.
Any big benefits to airpods vs other true Bluetooth wireless headphones like LINK

I have jaybirds, the big benefit I see is the easy to carry charging station thing. A lot easier than a cable and external battery.

I have jaybirds also. I think the only dealbreaker is skipping tracks. I go to the gym every damn day and if there's a song that sucks, I love to skip and go to the next song.
Can you do that with the AirPods? I don't think you can. That 1 little thing is an absolute deal breaker for me, sadly.

Quick google search says they can skip tracks
Posted on 11/9/17 at 1:27 pm to DoubleDown
Everything is done through Siri. Double tap either Pod to activate Siri. Siri has to open, take the command and then completes the ask. Takes about 5 seconds to complete a skip.
Edit: you double tap to answer and end calls as well.

The charging system is pretty amazing. I even got a black skin for that too.
Posted on 11/9/17 at 1:47 pm to ATLsuTiger
Should be a touch option though. Not everyone wants to give commands to their phones in public.

How are the AirPods charged? The base charges them, but what charges the base?
