The AirPods also come with their own case, which houses its own battery providing up to 24 hours of playback, as it will charge the buds when they’re sitting in it.
Pairing the AirPods with the iPhone 7 is easy: all you have to do is move the case near the phone and tap the on-screen prompt.
TechRadar’s take: It’s likely to be the most divisive feature on the new iPhone 7, but the headphone revolution has to start somewhere, and while Motorola may have removed the jack on the Z Play before Apple – it’s the Cupertino firm which will be setting the standard going forward.
The lack of a headphone jack will frustrate users to start with, but in a year’s time we wouldn’t be surprised if all major manufacturers have followed suit.
