          Apple did this because Bluetooth headphone battery life is crappy.

          That wasn't enough for Apple they want longer battery life for headphones. Lets see how long you can use them before battery runs out.

              You can always trust Apple to come up with new ways to squeeze even more money from their ever so loyal fans. After today's announcement you can expect to hear defense of whatever proprietary crap Apple comes up.... In this case Bluetooth.
              Myself, I'm planning to buy LG V20 with its removable battery, memory card slot and latest Android 7.0 ;-)

                        Hahahahahahah, so if you buy a nice pair of seinheisser, or audio technica, you simply won't be able to appreciate them.

                        Lol apple urinates on their customers without even bothering to call it rain.

                          I thing It will cost around not less than 200 to 300$ cmon apple thats not fair

                            It's useless, 3.5mm AirPods are fine. The price will cost an arm, a leg and a pair of kidney.

                                as expected from apple, only give option of your proprietary technology, so customer have to pay higher money and no other brand can benefit.

                                  It will probably just be a different blue tooth protocol like Sony's LDAC for hi-res music since normal bluetooth can't handle Hi res music properly. But I'm only speculating.

Plus, there i... moretruly said...i myself bought an s7 edge, even though i hated samsung, because..well..sony doesnt use gorilla glass, lg g5 was a design disaster and apple..eww..now way i like drag dropping my files..(the last one probably because i use windows, and because i hate apple, i love them ipads)..so only decent flagship i was left with was sammy

                                        Apple Earpod with remote & mic is $29. If you add bluetooth! Thats $129 for sure. And on a single charge, it will last about 24 hours (if you don't use them), if you use them they will still last 4 hours!! Lets see. Prepared to be amazed by the fools.
