News & Reviews:   Apple AirPods Malaysia launch

Today, the Apple Event went live and unleashed a new 3rd-Gen of Apple AirPods. It's kind of mind-blogging to think that the 1st-Gen was first unveiled in 2016 but we digress. Here's everything you need to know about the latest AirPods.

Based on a statement by Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, future Apple AirPods could come equipped with a body temperature sensor similar to the upcoming Apple Watch Series 8. While not much is known in regards to which exact AirPods will come with the aforementioned sensor, it does give us a better idea of what to expect from Apple in the future.

It smells completely like broke in here. Yes, the Apple’s brand new Airpods was announced last night (to my surprise) with a bunch of brand new features like a Qi compatible wireless charging case and hands-free Siri. And no, it is not called the Apple Airpods 2 like we thought it would.

Apple would be announcing a subscription based event on the 25th of March, possibly launching a brand new app or service for their ecosystem. However, rumours have been going around that Apple may be announcing some products as well and the Apple Airpods 2 might be one of them.

Do you still remember the overpriced Apple AirPods that the company introduced last year? You know, those wireless Bluetooth earbuds that the Internet made fun of for being “ridiculous” and a rip-off. Well, we just go some news today that Apple customers who got their hands on it are actually positively satisfied.

The first batch of Apple AirPods have arrived in Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and so far the users' experience and opinion on the wireless earpiece have been quite positive, particularly the Bluetooth connection range, recharge time, sound quality and others. Here's what they have to say about the AirPods below:

Just a few hours ago, Apple has finally put the AirPods listed in their online store for $159. Initially, the AirPods were supposed to be released in late October but was delayed for unknown reasons. But they are finally available now, just in time for Christmas.

Apple Malaysia has recently revealed the Malaysia pricing for the Apple AirPods wireless headsets as being RM849 for a pair. Made to link up with the Apple iPhone 7 and 7 Plus which don't have 3.5mm headphone jacks, the new AirPods are not currently available yet but the rather high price for them should mean that you better keep an eye on them when they are.

Ever since the Apple AirPods were revealed, it has been made-fun-of by the Internet of its silly design for weeks and for a good reason. Although internally it makes sense, but it just looks like Apple got lazy on how it should look. Anyway, Apple are also offering some new Beats by Dre headphones for a wireless experience, but there are other options as well that you should also check out.

By now, you probably have seen a lot of jokes about the Apple AirPods on the internet. The AirPods is Apple's latest wireless earphones that can play 5 hours of music playback, also comes with a charging case that holds 24 hours of charge. Many media members at the Apple event have tried them on first hand, so let's see what do they have to say about the product.
