So, the AirPods Max are getting a makeover, huh? I'm kinda hoping they come in a neon green or something wild. Maybe they'll have built-in heaters for those chilly winter commutes. Or a built-in coffee dispenser. Yeah, that'd be sweet. I just hope they don't make 'em too heavy. My ears can't handle any more weight.

Will they come in unicorn colors? Probably not, but fingers crossed.
Can I use them as a frisbee? We don't recommend it, but you never know.
Will they have a built-in napping feature? Maybe, if you ask nicely.
Can I use them as a fashion accessory? Absolutely! They'll be the hottest thing since sliced bread.
Will they come with a free puppy? No, but you can always ask your local animal shelter.
