I like the solo loop but I don’t like that they aren’t size adjustable 

That's the braided solo loop. It's elastic!

Uhhmmmmmm 

tragic 

Feature coming in the 2023 launch of AirPods Air

Impossible unless the Bluetooth standard changes. AirPods are limited by that.

But the tragic thing is AirPods Max not supporting Hi-Fi.  They need to update the internal hardware real quick.

Assistive Touch looks pretty cool, definitely a feature that interests me. Will it be available on both the Series 6 and SE? @BenG

Very likely. Looks like just a software update. This is just a preview though. No details released so far.
