They spent 4 years on prototyping how to fit a usb c port in there even though people were able to mod it into the original ones

[@woodworkerroyer8497]

Exactly. You know how hard it was when they were "forced" to remove the aux port from the iPhone because it was so huge 😂. Not like the next 2 gens of Samsungs beat the socks off the iPhone while still having that port 😂

[@memer-monday]

⁠@@choreli nuh uh the samsung galaxy s7 was ip68 waterproof rating while the iphone 7 had ip67, the s7 had an amoled screen while iphone still had a smaller led screen, samsung had more vibrant and detailed photos at the time, and the s7 had much better battery life

Fr I wanted them but no upgrades for a 4 year old product 💀

[@woodworkerroyer8497]

They're headphones. What are they gonna upgrade? They made great headphones in 1980. The only difference is these look new, have Bluetooth and an explosive battery, and sound significantly worse 😂 I'm not a Luddite, but I really don't get the "I need the newest thing" with most of the stuff we buy. I'm really curious what you'd actually want that the old design doesn't have (I will agree that making a new one is stupid and I'd definitely want something better to upgrade, but that's not what you said.)

[@jerryesposito]

​@@woodworkerroyer8497 There are limits to what we can upgrade. I agree with you, but it is pretty scummy for a giant corporation to sell this exact same product 4 years later

Refurbished**

[@nerfgodbigguy1405]

And fact is that they "REFRESHED" the price to how it was years ago. They're making you pay original markup price for the exact same device. Like actually think about it. Imagine they added USB-C and new colours to the 11 Pro Max and decided that it was a good enough update for a 4 year old phone to start reselling it again for the original 1100 they priced it. And im pretty sure the 11PM is marked at 250 right now. 💀☠️⚰️☠️💀

Privacy. Apple has the most secure and safe network and database out of all phone companies. The reason you spend so much on phones that seem like they're not that insane is because you're paying for a simple user friendly layout, while also having all of your personal information protected from hackers etc

[@patrickn594]

I'll never understand why some people spend so much on apple products, especially when competitors are sometimes cheaper and better

[@Calm_Game]

[@Legofan2676]

Its mostly just people either cashing in on apple products as a fashion statement, or people using them cause there at least a more reliable operating system than other phones.

[@Diaxx]

never

[@thomasaunos]

They had 4 years to change something else than the colors and the charging port but didn’t

[@AnanusBananus]

The color is enough of a reason for so many apple customers. It shows you got the newest crApple sht. Apple users are shallow af and not too many smart

[@kingkeenangaming756]

It still has the H1 Chip Lmao

[@ExploringTheSimulation]

The pictures you used look oddly familiar 😎 Can we try to plug the USB-C port of the Gen 2 in the Gen 1?!

[@choreli]

It’s not a Gen 2. They just changed the port, it’ll likely work the same. Airpods had this happen too, it’s just a port change. Idk why people are larping that it’s next gen.

Can you swap parts between the original and this one

[@SAD_SRY]

Yeah but there is one problem…..they’re not AirPod Max 2

[@HylianDrew]

The question is will they support C-C audio? That is, will a C to C cable transmit audio. If so, this is another change from the first gen which only supported C to Aux audio from apple’s niche cable being bi-directional DAC.

[@Dw_Rinku]

Does it still has a condensation problem ? I remember when I got the first generation, after wearing it for an hours the inside was wet so I returned it within a week because it wasn’t certified water resistant… so I’m wondering if they fixed that

[@MushroomThingzzz]

They actually have a new chip that has better noise cancellation and better Bluetooth connectivity! It works! Luv them❤I had the first gen and now I have the second and after a few days of use I can definitely tell a difference❤🎉

[@chromefuture5561]

These aren’t even called Airpods max 2 these are still just AirPods Max

[@ErfanShiran]

Now Add lighting port to the USB-C AirPod max

[@FelipeM0391]

They are just the same Air Pods Max, they are not a end version, just a changes the type C and that's it.

[@godskittles2064]

My brother in Christ, that’s not it tho. Today before I went down this rabbit hole, I bought space grey set for $430 After tax. Went to my car looked up a video on and saw that there was no USB C and the box said 2020 I wanted the 2024 USB C version because it’s newest version bang for my buck. So go back in and grabbed my all black pair and had exchanged my 430$ and then owed still $161. Go to my car find this video along with other video explaining the upgrades and well yeah there are none. So I went back to get my space grey and $161 dollars back

[@abletothink]

I'd have liked an upgrade but these are still ridiculously good headphones. I have a pair of Hifiman Sundaras and AirPods Pro sound noticeably better but not as wide. Plus they have noise cancelation and transparency modes which are both amazing.

hahaha, soooo funny omgg 😐😐😐😐😐

Yeah, because they never posed them as a new generation, they just said they’re adding new colors and USB-C

Combine the right speaker of Max 2 and left of the Max 1

[@hhcsn]

But they didn't say they released a new version They said they just added the USBC to the first generation (as I did with the AirPods Pro 2. Previous year). And add new colors Even in Apple Watch Ultra 2, Apple said it added only a new color

[@dimafriday]

Are they not connected electronically through the arch? The way speakers pop of, it seems they are not. But charging port is on one side, isn’t it?

[@John_Franco]

Try putting the usb c port to the old one

Can they connect to any other device? Or just iphones?

[@Dan-vl6fk]

that’s not torx, that’s pentalobe, the same that they use on the external screws of the iphones and macbooks

[@mrvndlr]

Why is it so hard to pronounce the name correctly? AirPods Max, not AirPod Pro Maxes, AirPod Max 2 or stuf like that. It‘s freaking AirPods Max.

[@Snakyy1]

Do they still have the cursed lighting connectors in the headband?

[@studiochannel5226]

They didn’t promoted it a as "new" but as a light refresh with new colors and USB C

[@DudeNamedTyler]

Now can you take the speaker with USB C and replace the speaker with lighting on the old maxes

[@nerdyllama9330]

Can the usb c version be swapped to the lightning one? Like how we swapped earcups on the og version to mix and match colours?

[@Isabellyrenee001]

There is no air pods max 2, they only changed the colors soooo stop spreading rumors.

[@JanNipius]

Is the little 8 pin connecto there also

[@adam-wq7cr]

Is it possible to replace lightning port flex with usb-c port flex? The community mod we saw before is making the port loose its wired audio functionality.

[@efrainmachay2483]

Can take de usb c and put it on a lightning one ? To upgrade it or something?

[@AM562]

I was pretty sure the only changes were USB-C and the colors

[@KakaoTrinker]
