It’s easy to dismiss the iPhone 7 Plus as a seemingly underwhelming update because of its similar form factor to the iPhone 6 Plus.

A Product Worthy of the Adjective, Magical: Apple AirPods

I thought they might be a bit pricey.
I thought they might be easy to lose.
And, I thought that they might look a bit awkward when worn.
