With the AirPods Strap, your AirPods will resemble almost every other Bluetooth earphone on the market. Unsurprisingly, the key selling point of the Strap is to “make sure that your AirPods are always by your side”, by allowing them to drape around your neck whenever you aren’t using them.

After Samsung’s Galaxy Note 7 recall, many might assume that those looking to get their hands on the latest and greatest smartphone (without it exploding) would be lining up to get on board with Apple’s iPhone 7.
The AirPods have a double tap function which lets you pause or play music and launch Siri without taking your iPhone out of your pocket.
The new iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus was made available for pre-order Friday morning through Apple’s website and mobile carriers like AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon. Bluetooth headphones sell at high prices with high margins and Apple’s Beats is said to a market leader in this department. So, if you’re dropping in that much cash on a pair of wireless earbuds that you can potentially lose on a bus ride, then it would be a wise move to invest in the AirPod Strap as well. “But the AirPods have a different situation”, an official at a local earphone industry told Yonhap News Agency by telephone.
More an evolution than a revolution, the iPhone 7 comes with a number upgraded features such as improved camera systems, more processing power and the “best battery life ever” in an iPhone. The design by Beats by Dre is expected to deliver superior sound and will have voice activation to connect with SIRI but they haven’t been tested yet.

Accessory maker Belkin has come up with a new adapter which enables iPhone 7 users to both charge the phone and continue listening via wired headphones at the same time. The smartphones from Apple costs hundreds of dollars when released and sometimes even the old versions are more expensive than new smartphones from other companies. As for availability, you will be able to purchase the AirPods some time in October, most likely the last week.
