Just because a couple of major apple fanboys buy them doesnt make them a popular product. Siri is lightyears behind other assistant's and its simply a product that sells miniscule numbers compared to other apple products. The airpods are a FAR more popular and better product within their respective markets.
besides, the point im making has nothing to do with that. I just dont see any logic or sense in their being an "updated" product with a 4 year gap where its literally identical when there are obvious upgrade that can be made, apple just choose not to for a bizarre reason.
Even amongst other airpods it doesnt make sense, the pro's from 1 to 2 was a jump all round and so were the regular airpods with each iteration with reasonable improvements being made
Rather than just stating the flaws in the product can you not show a source that proves it doesn’t sell? You look at market share and it’s got a ~20% share of the market with amazon having ~60%, Amazon lose money on each device they sell whereas apple don’t, heck amazon practically give those dots away at times. They have a bigger market share than Sonos for example who people would say are a very popular product so it’s swings and roundabouts.
I’m not disputing that Siri is crap, it is, I even said it above.
It’s making money, it’s a profitable device and that’s just what apple does, they drip feed extra features and we all lap it up.
