With the Apple W1 chip does that mean the earphones can swap between Mac and iPhone without having to manually remove from one device every time? I think the Airpods Pro do that with the latest update but if these do also its a great price.

They support switching via iCloud but I don't think they support automatic switching.

My Bose Qc35s do this, well if I’m understanding correctly.

If I’m listening to music on the mac and my phone rings the music pauses in the Mac and I can take the call on the iphone and the second I finish the call the music resumes on the Mac.

I also get notification sounds in my ears from the phone while listening to music or on zoom from the Mac.

It’s similar. The QC35 functionality allows you to be connected to two devices and switch between them as you described. The AirPod/Beats functionality allows you to switch between an number of supported devices that you’re signed into in iCloud.

The advantage of the Bose way is that they don’t have to be Apple devices, it’ll work with any Bluetooth audio device.

The advantage of the Apple way is that you can use more than 2 devices, and you don’t have to manually connect them (just sign into iCloud).

Guys so I ordered an iPad Air on Friday and got confirmation email and all but couldn’t get any order info on my Apple page. Basically showing I had no orders.

I’ve since discovered that I ordered through another Apple ID that I have. They are very similar (use one for the UK store) so I used the “UK” one by mistake, even though I bought from the Irish store.

Order is showing as preparing to dispatch and all when I check.

My question is. It doesn’t really make any difference does it that I bought it through one account and will be setting up and using in another? I guess it will show up in my devices when I register it under my original ID?

If I have an issue will I have to use the email I bought it under Orr the one it’s registered to? They are both gmail accounts with just a “.” In the difference in them and emails for both go to the one account. (Gmail can’t distinguish)


I could cancel and re order but mines due on Friday and there’s now a 2-3 week wait for them.

No it wouldn’t matter. Just sign in with the correct account when it arrives!

Cheers for that. Too late to cancel anyway as it’s preparing to ship.

Payment taken for my iPad Air. Dunno if that means it might ship a bit early.

They aren't charging €700.

Also it's a major revamp from the previous models.

Looks to me like they are. And regardless of how much of a revamp it is, Apple are only charging €667.95.

They are and the revamp is nothing to with Argos.

It's for salon Apple for €667 so Argos have jacked the price up.

Solution: Don't buy from them.

Thing is UK Apple price is £579 an Argos are charging that in UK> So why rip off Irish customers?

Apologies to the OP. I read it as "Apple" not "Argos" hence my response.

That will teach me to read on my phone while walking.

My comment about the revamp must seem especially weird now.

Argos have always charged over the RRP on Apple products. Even accessories are usually a few euro more expensive. Must be unhappy with the profit margins Apple give them.

In Ireland only though, not UK.
