I've used my AirPods Pro 2 since they first launched. Here's my buying advice for 2025

zdnet.com Jada Jones 2025-08-10 08:45:12

Jada Jones/ZDNET During Apple's September hardware event last year, the company announced the iPhone 16 lineup, new AirPods, and an upgraded Apple Watch.

news.ycombinator.com Sarah Constantin 2025-08-09 00:30:30
