The new AirPods Apple debuted last week are a classic throwback to the blinding white design that made iPods all the rage. But if the new earbuds are truly as futuristic as Tim Cook claims, they should have used the new jet black color from the iPhone 7.
Mockup artist Martin Hajek proves the AirPods would look absolutely amazing in all-black in his newest renders.
Seriously Apple, why didn’t you do this?
Even though the AirPods don’t come in jet black, they’re scoring stellar reviews from early testers. Hopefully, Apple will give us some new color options next year. Until, you’ll have to settle with headphones that totally clash with your black iPhone 7.

Not really. Those ones look like tacky and cheap knock-offs. Also, the Apple earphones have always been white since the iPod era.
The black makes them harder to see if you drop them, so they’re easier to lose.
Was just about to say that, put them in the sofa – and
you will never find them again :-)
We got Find My Watch this year. Next year it will be Find My AirPods.
Find My Wallet Will not be necessary – got no money left after buing all my Apple-stuff :-)
Apple doesn’t seem to have put much thought into its wireless ear buds. I can’t imagine Steve Jobs signing off on that unimaginative and unappealing design.
sucks a big pickle
He was around when they made the iPhone 3G
sure!, and they should make an airplane too.
