I don't see what's the point of this? Why get ur airpods case to controls your music player when you have your phone?

Snooze indeed. We plateaued on the hardware front a while back. 

 

At least the software front is exciting. I am curious to see where AI tech goes. Definitely more interesting than the Metaverse rubbish we've had to endure over the years.

it means other manufacturers can't make something like this right?

They’ve also had a patent for a folding phone for years and we’ve seen where that’s gotten us 

[Erotic]

It seems like our technology is trying to move away from “phones” while keeping phones at the forefront. A reverse warholian experience.

and as a means to protect themselves and any idea they have, but like 90% don’t even come to fruition like windowless cars. there’s patent trolls that just sue to sue.

This is a patent, not an invention. This just means they can do it if they want.

 

I'm here for it, tbh. Not needing my phone to use my AirPods would be great.

[Kayseri Mantisi]

A trash feature from Apple as always.

this is just a patent though. it doesn't mean they'll ever use it.
