$Apple (AAPL.US)$ I dont even know what they innovate anymor...

71505961 : Their airpods pro to me looks really good. It has a hearing protection mode where it blocks loud noise to protect your hearing health. It also acts as a hearing aid now which is the first of its kind because it's clinically approved and saves people thousands of dollars (they kind of entered a new market now and taking it over). Also it is expected to be FDA approved in over 100 countries next month.

With regards to the iPhone, it's as good as ever, I won't be upgrading that this year but will definitely get the airpods pro.

Miko-san 71505961 : I guess you bought their annual snake oil pitch but hey it's your money right? you do whatever you like. there's honestly waaaaay better earphones you could get with the same price. everything they have said in the live reveal were gimmicks to get more of your money.

if you're worried about your hearing then just cutdown on earphones use. or just don't use anything that potentially damages your hearing at all.

it doubles as a hearing aid? people with actual hearing loss will not be spending money on a gimmick and use that money to buy actual hearing aids.

this is honestly just another gimmick by Apple to sell more of their subpar accessories to go along with their barely improved from the previous year iPhones.

71505961 Miko-san : so hearing clinics and the FDA says this is an approved hearing aid and you say it's not. I'm going to take your advise, thanks
