Wish they release Gen 2 of AirPod Pro Max

Gen 1 is already overpriced⌠I shudder to think what theyâd charge for a Gen 2 version.
Donât get me wrong, they are still good headphones, I would consider one if they werenât so heavily tied to the iOS system and worked better just as ordinary bluetooth or even wired headphones.
Youâd be hard pressed 
to find any creative professional who likes the ad for the new Apple iPad that features a huge hydraulic press crushing artefacts of human and digital culture.

I donât get the hate? Whatâs wrong with it? Very creative.
Very briefly. It is crushing items that humans have used over time to be creative like musical instruments, art supplies, books etc Totally destroying them and replacing with a piece of technology. So it seems like AI replacing human creativity and invention. You donât need real world things like paint, books, a piano, paper - destroy them all and replace with our technology.

Apple Apologises And Pulls Controversial iPad Ad

Isnât it just showing all that the iPad can do/a representation of all thatâs inside?
Destroying existing art and culture?
Itâs not that deep though. Itâs not a threat from Apple saying âweâre going to destroy all the clay sculpturesâ.
But thatâs how people have interpreted it and thatâs Appleâs problem now.

What advantages would this have?
Direct connectivity to Africa - diversifying connectivity is important, a link between South Africa and WA gives redundancy that we donât currently have (most WA links head into SE Asia)
