Apple's latest commercials give the AirPods some love

By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

Apple's most innovative product for 2017 are the AirPods and here there are a series of advertisements showing what these tiny wonders can do. The ads show some of the key features of the AirPods (easy to pair to iPhones, they don't fall off even if you moonwalk on walls and they sound pretty good). I ordered my personal pair AirPods as soon as they were made available and one month in, they're still the accessory I use the most and have become one of my favourite Apple products, ever. They motivate me in the gym, they pair to my iPhone, Surface Book, iPad and even Apple Watch, battery life has been very good and sound is A+.

The othe Apple AirPod ads can be found here and here.
