Long live the first generation ipod shuffle. It just worked. Now every gadget has so many "why is it doing this?" and "how do I make it stop doing ___?" that I've checked out entirely. Cords are hip again in my house.
I get what you mean, but I think the AirPods pretty well live up to the “it just works” magic of cords. The UI is deeply intuitive. We’re talking the easiest to use product of the most UX obsessed company on earth. I can understand being put off the cost for something that you will use for a few years then toss in the bin, but then again almost everything eventually become trash.
