Without the H2 chip, Apple’s flagship headphones bizarrely can’t do key things its basic buds now can.
It all started promisingly. At Apple ’s September Glowtime event, CEO Tim Cook teed up VP of hardware engineering Kate Bergeron for the big reveal by stating that the company’s much-loved AirPods family had “significant updates across the entire lineup.” And with four years under their belt since their debut, it felt like the supposedly flagship AirPods Max had to be top of the billing.
But when it came to the H1-packing AirPods Max, Apple quickly swept all that good stuff under the carpet, throwing a handful of new colors and a USB-C connection our way in the hope we’d forget about everything that had just come before. Where exactly were the “significant updates” here that had been promised? There wasn't even the sniff of a price drop to help soften the blow. It’s not like these features wouldn’t even be really helpful to the AirPods Max users.
