Just looking at the AirPods now and they seem to have new features such as heart rate sensing and live translation at the same price.

> The company has refined the design, added heart rate sensing, improved active noise cancellation (ANC), delivered live translation and more. And most importantly, it did so without increasing the price.

The 16 Pro started at 128GB and the 17 Pro starts at 256GB.

They essentially kept the pricing but bumped the lowest storage tier.

The first comments on anything apple does are always just angry people taking a swipe. There are legitimate criticisms of apple to be had but you can be assured they’ll be drowned out by the unreasonable ones on any internet forum.
