can confirm my Huawei Freebud 4 have swipe volume controls, anc and do not have silicone tip. Which is one of the reasons I got them after my Gen 1 Airpods started to annoy me on Android.
replyThey all have the squishy silicone part that goes in your ear. The claim on the apple page is it's for the ones that don't have that. Which is true.
replyIt's not a particularly crazy innovation but the statement is true.
No they don't. The two Huawei models mentioned are completely different form factors, that are much more open-ear and further from squishy silicone than any Airpods.
replyThis is exactly the assumption that the carefully worded juice hopes you'll make. That Apple's claim to innovation precludes even a cursory glance at the competition
Are they open ear?
replyWouldn't a more traditionally appropriate question be: "but are those Apple"?
replyThey are both ear wrap around so apples to oranges.
