Apple’s Atrocious New Wireless AirPods

We’re not saying Apple’s new AirPods feature the most embarrassingly awful design of any smartphone accessory we’ve ever seen. But we’re also not, not saying that.

It’s almost impossible to fully understand why Apple would release a product that looks so ridiculous, and it’s almost cringe worthy to think that people are going to be walking around in public with these strange earbuds (that resemble electric toothbrushes), sticking out of their ears.

We know that much better designs are possible because there are already wireless earbuds available that feature much better designs. We also understand that the crazy AirPod stems serve a purpose. BUT nothing can excuse these ugly new earbuds, and now a hilarious accessory reminds us just how comical this whole situation is – The AirPods Strap, designed by Spigen.

The AirPod safety strap is the help that Apple needed, however it kind of misses the entire point of wireless earbuds. Apple could have connected them with a cable and made them just like every other pair of normal headphones out there.

Apple is a company that prides itself on design and most of the time; it outshines its rivals and then some. Apple’s iPhones are sleek, the Apple Watch is awesome and its Mac computers are stunning. But when Apple misfires, it misfires badly. Very, very badly...

Take a look at these horrible products that Apple produced:

The Magic Mouse 2. Seriously, what kind of madness makes a company design a rechargeable mouse that can’t be used while it’s charging?

The iPhone Battery Case. The weird bump at the back makes it look like you tried to shove a few too many credit cards into the back of your case.

And now, we have this to toss onto the pile:
