Apple’s new AirPods Max case ‘looks just like a BRA’ – fans mock hilarious design
APPLE has caused a stir with a new product that fans say looks just like a bra.
Jokesters on Twitter reckon the carry-case for Apple's new AirPods Max headphones bears a striking resemblance to chest support.
Apple unveiled the new AirPods Max today.
They're a step above regular AirPods, fitting over your ears and offering top features – like noise-cancellation and "Spatial Audio".
Apple is charging a hefty £549 for a pair, but thankfully they come with a handy carry case to sweeten the deal.
Sadly for Apple, many fans have pointed out that this carry case looks a lot like a woman's undergarments.
"I hate to point this out but the new Apple AirPods Max carrier looks lika a bra," wrote one bemused Twitter user.
They added: "Sorry you can't unsee it now."
Another said :"Sorry Apple, but the AirPods Max case looks weirdly like a bra."
It's not the first time a new Apple gadget has been met with online chuckles.
Some compared the original AirPods to electric toothbrush heads.
And when the original iPad launched, many joked that we'd see people holding it up to their ears for calls – like a giant iPhone.
But whatever the AirPods Max carry case may look like, the headphones themselves look like serious business.
AirPods Max sit over your ears like premium headphones.
And they've got premium features like hi-fi audio, adaptive equalising, active noise-cancellation, and "spatial" audio.
Like previous AirPods, they'll likely be a hit with Apple fans – and will be high on Christmas lists.
But they don't come cheap, starting at a lofty £549.
That's far higher than the regular AirPods (£159) and AirPods Pro (£249).
