You could also buy five sets of standard Apple headphones for the same price. The strap is basically just a wire which attaches to your AirPods, connecting one ear piece directly to the other.
The removal of the headphone jack from iPhone 7 has freed up a small amount of space inside the handset.
This wouldn’t be such a headline worthy news if Apple didn’t mention water resistance as one of the new features of the iPhone 7 duo. The main reason behind this decision was the controversial removal of the headphone jack in iPhone 7 which sparked more curiosity about the company’s next move.
The statement on Apple’s product page said, “The high-gloss finish on the Jet Black iPhone 7 is achieved through a precision nine-step anodisation and polishing process”.
Apple made it official this week: It’s embracing wireless technology and consumers are going to have to adapt.
However, as with any wireless device you will need to carry a charging unit.
After completing these steps, customers will have to wait until launch to get their hands on the new iPhone.
Telco M1 has released its prices for Apple’s new iPhones, following competitor Singtel’s announcement on Saturday (Sept 10). 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.
The new Apple Watch, called Series 2, is faster than before, also water resistant and also compatible with the new AirPods.
