> "Up to 5hr. of battery life on one charge"

How the fuck is it acceptable to completely remove the jack and replace it with this 'superior' technology?

Will they be marketing it as 10 hours (5 left + 5 right)?

Hey, credit where it's due. Apple tends to advertise battery life quite well, with testers often getting over what Apple advertises.

But the answer is no - they advertise 5 hours.

They are rightfully advertising it as '5 hours for each ear'. Which, in my case, is actually 10 hours. I only listen to podcasts - and listen to them in one ear. So when one dies, I'll switch to the other while charging the first one. It's really ideal for my use.

It's not like they're shipping a free adapter. You could also use a Bluetooth headset of your choice that has a bigger battery.

Or you could just buy a different phone. It's their product, what is "acceptable" is up to them.

(Yes, the first part is sarcasm.)

They ARE shipping a free adapter.

Edit: Looks like you wanted to say this, but made a typo.

They are. Did you watch?

The case is also the battery, which can last for 24 hours.

Both the airpods and the case can be charged together.

I seriously don't get it. Are we wearing the case? Or is that dangling behind us or what?

Considering the shipping headphones are lightning it's that port that is the replacement, not wireless.
