Is the 4399 yuan AirPods Max worth starting? Without the power button, how is the power control design?

Apple’s products has always been high, but any product launched by this company, whether it is a new design or a reimagining of a product that is already hot on the market-as long as it is launched, it will always surprise people with simplicity. The appearance design of, fell into the humanized functional operation.

Recently, Apple's fully reimagined headset AirPods Max has surpassed the iPhone 12 in the limelight. Although the domestic price is as high as 4399 yuan soft sister coin (24 interest-free installments are available), it still cannot stop the enthusiasm. Fruit fans, no, they are unstoppable and enthusiasm. The fruit fans that

started with have expressed their "really fragrant" admiration for it, but they have some confusion about how AirPods Max handles power management. I thought that only our domestic users would care about power consumption. I didn’t expect the same in overseas. Sure enough, the world’s fruit fans are One family.

Apple specifically updated the support terms on its official website to clarify the problem, “When AirPods Max is stored in a soft and slim smart earphone box, it will enter an ultra-low power consumption state, thereby maintaining power.”

In detail, it is not clear how long the box will enter the ultra-low power consumption mode to maintain the power, and how the power is controlled outside the box is not clear, which makes users with obsessive-compulsive disorder feel very uneasy.

Now, some foreign Virgo netizens have taken the time to personally test the actual power consumption of AirPods Max in different situations, let's take a look.

First of all, the earphones were left overnight without playing, and only a few percent of their power was lost, regardless of whether they were put in the earphone box or not-so you can rest assured that you can listen to the song in the warm bed and take it off and put it on the bed. Head, there will be no worrying power consumption.

According to Apple, if you remove AirPods Max from your head, even if you don't put it in the earphone box, it will enter the "low-power mode" after standing for five minutes. If they stay in this state for 72 hours, they will enter the "ultra low power mode"-turn off Bluetooth and find location functions. Essentially, this sounds like the power off button has been pressed.

But something surprising is that if you take AirPods Max off your head and immediately struggle to get out of bed and put it in the earphone box, it doesn’t actually save much power-according to the conventional understanding, after putting it in the earphone box , Which means that it will not be used for a long time, so it should enter the "ultra low power mode" directly after 5 minutes or immediately, but the fact is that it will wait 18 hours before starting the "ultra low power mode".

This means that within 18 hours, its power consumption is the same as if you don’t put it in the headphone box. If you want to use it during this period, it’s better to pick it up directly-it’s more convenient to use it. The action of taking out the earphone box. Although

does not know the reason why Apple designed the power control system in this way, it is clear that their priority is the convenience of quick reconnection of the headset, rather than the loss of power. So, if you take AirPods Max off your head and hang it around your neck, please believe that it is always in an active state, whether it is 5 minutes or 5 hours, until you put it "fixed" on the table. Or the stationary state on the shelf.

I don’t know if Apple will optimize and adjust the duration of these default state changes through firmware upgrades in the future, but for the time being, for fruit fans with "battery anxiety", they would rather have a physical power switch key for more peace of mind Right.

Maybe this is a critical article, but a product that can be used, observed and recorded by users so carefully can also show the success of the product itself. According to this foreign netizen’s disclosure in his blog, the AirPods Max firmware team We are considering whether to allow users to customize the time setting for starting each power consumption mode or set a specified time period, but this is not known whether it is true or false.

Why do I want to write this? I can’t afford AirPods Max again. It’s really tiring. I have to wait for the idle fish in the trenches. Hey, please give me a lot of praise and let me save enough to buy second-hand AirPods Max money-even if only one ear makes a sound.
