In retrospect, it makes sense that Apple couldn’t kill the headphone jack [1] without some kind of replacement. And, in fact, alongside the iPhone 7, the company actually announced three different wireless options: two new Beats models, both with improved processors and super-long battery life, and the new Apple AirPods. I tried on a pair of AirPods in Apple’s brightly lit hands-on room, a few minutes after the main event concluded.
