I think you're simplifying the AirPods and Apple Watch; while glamorising other Apple products. The iPod wasn't the first MP3 player. It was a MP3 player that worked well. The iPhone was actually not the first smartphone; it was the first smartphone that worked well thanks to its multitouch screen. Do you remember the first generation iPad? I owned it, and let me tell you. It was, almost literally, 9 iPhones stuck together. The AirPods is more than just make it smaller. People praise its convenience, and its innovation is in skipping the cumbersome bluetooth pairing process.

To be fair, how often do people pair their headphones? I think I paired my headphones only twice in the past month, and that took about 45 seconds.

I own an iPhone, Macbook Pro, Work Macbook Pro, Surface, and a desktop gaming PC.

Switching your bluetooth headphones between 5 devices can be... a chore.
