🥇 Regular Picks

Host	Pick	Score
Myke	Regular	"AirPods to gain more controls via touch actions"	1
Stephen	Regular	"At least 1 more color option comes to AirPods"	0
Federico	Regular	"The AirPods line is split in two, and the lower end version gets a price drop"	0
	The additional condition is an intentionally risky choice by Federico Ultimately this is in fact his undoing. While AirPods Pro were released to split the line, the normal AirPods 2 didn't drop from their original $159 price until the 3rd generation was released in October 2021.
Myke	Regular	"The next HomePod is a mini HomePod"	0
	True, but too late. The HomePod mini wasn't released until 2020.
Stephen	Regular	"HomePod price drop"	1
	In April, they were cut from $349 to $299.
Federico	Regular	"Shortcuts will gain new HomePod/AirPlay 2 actions to play audio on HomePod more quickly"	1
Myke	Regular	"Apple will create some new noise-cancelling technology"	1
	Some sort of thing that they put into an AirPod or something that they tout as invented by Apple, is how it was clarified during predictions. Myke, in absentia, gets the benefit of the doubt as to how new the AirPods Pro tech is.
Stephen	Regular	"Better incorporation of Apple News into the audio ecosystem"	0
	For example, asking Siri for the news on a HomePod This did eventually happen, but in 2020.
Federico	Regular	"HeadPods will be wireless only and they will have no headphone jack and will charge via Lightning or USB-C"	0
