Introducing… drumrolls!
Apple sounding sticks! Dstix! Not only are they incredibly sexy for sounding, with their smooth specially designed surfaces for his pleasure, but they boost db to new leves with its vibration to music features. Dstix not only play music with their IEM adapters but now they also come… pardon the pun… with their very own camera! For those who must pray east or those who are really outdoorsy they come with nano gyro enabled GPS and you know, that needle thing that always points north. Dstix are not just your grandpa’s stainless feel good 🍡 play toys anymore! Search for and scoop out ear wax! Unclog stuffy noses! Search and report pullips and other intestinal illnesses. Ofcourse it can detect enlarged prostate, record your pee schedule and chemical composition via the P-hol technology built in. Dstix also come with mood light and a bright torch to find your keys or remove your contacts! And Best of all, they are Bluetooth, they can record 49hours of sound and 4k video, they have an air mouse and air keyboard features and you can receive calls directly to your Dstix! Stereo if you’re using two. All the adapters, including the B-dapter with retaining feature and safety flange are all included! All you will need is a USB c cable and adapter!
The worst part is that these could be the only option. Since airpods are designed to go bad after a few years Apple will interpret all of the replacements as “very successful sales”
How about just better sound instead? You know, what headphones are actually for.
Just to improve the spy ecosystem. Thanks
100% says it’s for gesture tracking and fully local
The source code is closed so you cannot check Apple allegations only trust them and I don’t trust a company who puts a advertising ID on its phones
Do you trust Google? They do a LOT more than add a highly anonymous advertising ID you can reset at at will.
Marketing departments around the world collectively shat their pants when Apple did that change, it made tons of user tracking instantly completely useless.
Yeah well, they wouldn’t buy earphones with fucking cameras on them from Google either, now would they?
Only because everyone’s on edge, give it a few years and they’ll need “anonymised” data collection to “help improve their service”
Only because everyone’s on edge,
Wrong, everyone’s on chrome
I’ll see myself out, no need to shoot
Edge is what you use to download a browser.
Someone correct me if I’m wrong here, but anyone feel like Apple is slowly having an…over-engineering problem?
The Apple Vision Pro, this… the new iPad Pros with FUCKING M4 CHIPS THAT ARE RUNNING IPADOS (???)
Like what is happening in their product development department lately?
“If you can’t reinvent the wheel, then just make the wheel more expensive.” -Tim Apple, probably
Or they have a ton of M4 sized wheels and it’s easier just to use the same wheel for everything
I appreciate his proper name being used 🤗
They need to take their talent and apply it to stuff that could actually use it, rather than rehashing stuff that is already good. An Apple clothes dryer that actually can sense dry clothes and doesn’t break easily. An apple garage door that doesn’t suck. An Apple Ebike that lasts ages and is repairable (and gets people out of their cars).
I think an Apple bidet could be neat. A toaster, too.
That would probably disrupt the brand too much.
The bidet is under development. It is going to have cameras to confirm cleanliness using ai.
… I don’t know if I trust Siri to wash my asshole tbh
Something tells me you wouldn’t like the coming AssID feature either.
Did you just put “repairable” and “Apple” in the same sentence?
Let’s take low power a tech gadget that gets good battery life and make it no longer have good battery life. What a great idea.
And this is why the Humane Pin was always a dumb idea. Apple, Google, Samsung, etc just needed to license some LL and diffusion models, then slap camera on all the headphones they make. Boom - instant humane like experience that’s faster, lighter, better looking, has better battery, etc etc.
No futuristic projector UI, but that thing was pretty busted anyway.
The big problem with the humane pin was that it was trying to do processing on the teeny tiny device and that used all it’s battery up in 15 mins generated 300 MW of heat.
Why not just use the phone in your pocket that’s actually designed for this kind of data processing?
That’s a lotta heat
As I recall, the original goal was to build a product that allowed you to leave the phone behind so you could be more present in the world.
Problem is, processing and battery power clearly isn’t there yet, and it would require a separate sim for that.
A product that leveraged the phone would’ve been a better V1. It’s kind of the obvious conclusion everyone comes to when they play with this thing in the wild.
This is the most tech bro thing ever.
“Lets innovate ourselves out of a problem that innovation created”
Imagine trying to invent a new class tech instead of just putting your phone down.
bringing “in-air” gestures to airpods
I can’t wait for stories of people brushing their hair away and the earbuds take that as a sign to raise the volume too high or something equally dumb to happen because they won’t be able to differentiate between a normal gesture meant for it and something not meant for it.
Gesture controls are cool, but what happens if they are too sensitive to movement or think gesture xyz is the same as gesture zyx?
Let me guess. Add infrared cameras onto the Airpods, costing them very little extra, and using it as justification for an £80 price rise.

Not saying otherwise. I’m saying IR cameras are probably an excuse to bump up the price.
Will the camera look inside of your ear?
