I don't understand what schemery apple is up to but I'm here for it we are used to Apple only giving their best features in the pro versions of everything however this is the base level of the new Apple earpods and we're getting everything from active noise cancellation to speakers in the earpod cases to the newest batteries and the voice isolation features everything even the newest Apple silicon chip is in the base level of the Apple earpods and I don't know why they would do that and also check out this freaking cool feature seamlessly lower your media volume when you start talking to someone hey how's your morning going hey Michelle um can I get and bring it back when you're done you got it that's crazy so you can just keep your earphones in and then speak to a person they switch off and then once you walk away they switch back on again why wasn't this a thing a long time ago it's probably the new A2 chip they have in there I don't know Apple's cooking
