Jason SnellNew Upgrade: We revisit the Ultra and Neo names, consider the future of Apple's processor manufacturing strategy, and try to imagine why possible use case there could be for AirPods with built-in cameras.
Steve Abrahamson@jsnell Apologies for the correction, but I believe the official name is “AirPods With Frikkin Lase… [er, I mean] Cameras Strapped On To Them”.
@jsnell OK but seriously, cameras need to be pointed in - even vaguely - the right direction. Have you ever looked at the dizzying variety of directions and angles people wear their AirPods? Sound still goes in the earholes, sure, but stems are all over the place. No matter where the cameras are attached, unless they’re capturing over 180° on each side, there’s a human chaos factor here. It’ll be interesting to see what they do.
@abrahamson I don't know quite who you're ranting to but I pretty much made this point
