Should Apple Add a SCREEN to AirPods Pro?! Knockoff Unit Hands-On!

- Apple has shown interest in adding a screen to AirPod Pro. I go hands-on with a knockoff Chinese set of earbuds that brought Apple's patent to life to see how useful a touchscreen actually could be. Do you think Apple should add this feature?

Imagine AirPod case becoming iPod
see if real AirPods Pro fit? might be a good replacement case.
I'll try it!
@@AppleInsiderdid you try it
@1:53 Note that Apple moved the battery of the APP2. Instead of being in the stem like they were previously, it is now a tiny button cell located between the driver and main circuit board in the head. If you google for xrays of the APP2, you can see some visuals.
Maybe this is apples plan the whole time 🤔
Try using the earbuds from a real AirPods Pro into this fake case and see if it works because then it’s a game changer lol. You get the amazing sound quality from the buds along with the screen from this thingy.
Haha Very curious! Will have to test!
Definitely let us know I’ll be waiting since I’m curious 😂
@@AppleInsider How did the test go?
AirPods Pro don't use the stem for the battery, it's a coin cell inside the main housing no ?
So I have what's called the "A9" version of the headphones in the video and they are super great. The controls work as advertised, the audio quality is 8.5/10 and the ANC and passive modes are actually really good. For the $25 these cost me on ebay they are worth the price.
I would like a screen on it for music and stuff. Could get a wider target audience
I have these they’re worth it for $30
interesting concept but I could see a lot of mistaps and accidental presses with this, like if they're in your pocket for example
The Chinese will now sue Apple due to copyright infringement if Apple produces AirPods with a screen-that’s a bit rich 🤑
I do hope that that was sarcasm... but if not, would never happen. First, Apple would sue first based on the fact that they literally copy everything about AirPods Pro. They're identical except for crappy and have the screen on the front. So Apple would have a claim first. Second, Apple would still be able to sue based on its filed patents from 2021.
@@AppleInsider it was irony rather than sarcasm but I have to say I think it’s great feature👍
@@AppleInsiderI would assume it very unlikely for Apple to make this, bc then you wouldn’t need at least an aWatch, which requires at least a family member’s iPhone.
Apple isn't afraid to cannibalize its products.@@DurfDiggler It does so all the time. The Apple Watch also still has tons of benefits, including all the fitness tracking, notifications, apps, payments, and more. Just because it has Find My and playback controls, doesn't mean it replaces an Apple Watch. Think about the earbuds now. They already have volume and media controls. It would just be giving you another option if this case is sitting on your desk but your phone is in your pocket.
Man how much cash can Chinese / 🇯🇵 can charged lawsuit fr all copyright ©️ infringement s - man Chinese government ready next 😊😅😅😅
How do they sound is most important!
I love the screen feature you said something about it turns it into like a iPod how about a 20 gig hard drive where you could actually store music. 😊
Just bring your AirPods with you and take your Apple Music library with you!
@@AppleInsider great idea!! I love your podcast. You do a great job. You have a great speaking voice, which is very important.
Thanks@@jeffdevoid9719!
Wait, are these the AirPlus Ultra “Pros” or are these just the basic Ultras? What about the Extreme Pro version where you can edit and watch videos on the screen? Next up … a small detachable keyboard for the case. The Chinese are hilarious 😂😂
Apple finding this out: sues them, steals their ideas and kills them
Just like that Family Guy cutaway
The concept is a great idea but what functionality(ies) the screen is given determines whether it would be a success
Like being able to update your AirPods firmware OTA ON A SCREEN on the case would be a good function and checking the battery life on your AirPods would also be useful
I'm not sure a remote camera shutter would be a good function because it would likely open up the possibility of more pocket pictures
Being able to find individual AirPods that are paired with the case would make it less dependent on the iPhone but if your AirPods and your AirPods case go missing you still have to take out your iPhone but putting your AirPods in Lost Mode would probably make it easier for someone to see who the AirPods belong to and if they have intention of getting your AirPods back to you get your AirPods back to you ASAP
Overall I think a screen on the case should be a minimal design with functionality specifically related to the AirPods
Apple should move their factories. Apparently they can’t trust them with their ip.
Apple publicly filed a patent for this, it's shown in the video. They just cloned AirPods Pro and used Apple's patent for screen features
To be fair apples cables are just as flimsy. I do like the idea of the screen and it has some actually really nice utility but I don’t even wanna know what kind of cost Apple would sell these for. Even though it would cost them very little in everything except software development.
That’s cool apple should definitely do that
It will be cool to see the rings on the screen from your Apple Watch
Mhm!
Hell yes...I love gadgets and toys lol. I'd love to see Apple do this!
Nice video. Interesting product. Maybe version 2 will be much better. Would love to see those features on Apple's product. Now go take care of those unread emails you have. (That's gonna take a while.🤣)
Yes apple should put a screen to there earpods case.
I guess the new beats products got sent to the cutting room floors
Nope! Still coming!
Number one: Firmware updates through case!
Number two: Find mine for all your devices.
Number three: Battery levels on devices and warning ⚠️ when EarPods need charging.
Everything else is just extra for me.
If they add some storage to the case then the screen makes more sense.
It's a possibility! Maybe they need an AirPods app though where you could choose which playlists sync over.
I’ll buy it because Apple.
🤔
Apple watch plus airport
I love how when china finds leaked patents for apple especially they go copy it before that rhing is even confirmed to release
I don’t get it. Who would like to pay more (yes price woud increase), and a thicker body, with less battery life due to screen, to control your airpods with the box in your hand. I can t fathom it. Airpods needs to be paired to a phone. A phone already has (a much better, bigger) screen. No one would use it in real life
I don't think that the price would increase here. A screen isn't an inherently expensive component. The idea would be that AirPods Pro originally came out years ago and the price of its components have dropped, giving Apple more wiggle room in its COGs.
I also don't think that Apple's version would necessarily have a thicker body and battery life likely wouldn't take a hit.
i got some from tik tok
for $30 made in usa tho
Lmk if they arrive, because I just bought some too 🙏 Hopefully we don’t get scammed.
I’m a nope for this
I've seen entire channels taken down overnight for videos like this
No
Total gimmick…
there are too many things with screens that attract and distract people's attention while they're using them in an unsafe society.
people are already doing dumb things like walking or driving with their apple vision pro at their own RISK!
SO JUST KEEP IT SIMPLE AND LEAVE WELL ENOUGH ALONE AND STAY SAFE.
