AnswerIf you mean included, no, it is not included with iPhone 7. It is compatible with MacBooks but it may not work with Siri because the older MacBooks would link to the AirPods by Bluetooth.

AnswerThey do not have a direct control built in to control volume. However, by double tapping either AirPod, Siri will be summoned and you can ask her to adjust the volume.

Will a single AirPod work while the second one is charging, or both need to be inserted to activate?
There are situations when I need to be able to hear ambient noise while on a phone and/or listening to music. Currently it's easy to accomplish - just leave one earbud out. Will these AirPods work while only one is inserted (I'm planning to keep the other one in the charging case so it won't be lost)?

Might a future update to the AirPods allow them to provide "noise cancelling" capabilities? See description below for the logic behind my question.
The descriptive text states: "when you’re on a call or talking to Siri, an additional accelerometer works with beamforming microphones to filter out background noise...." Because of this statement, I'm hoping it can be changed for more "full time" use -- optionally, for when I'm flying -- I'd like to avoid needing to take a separate set of specialize headphones. I understand that this might not be possible -- because you'd probably then need a bigger battery OR you might be able to communicate with the iPhone to provide the actual noise cancelling -- you already have the microphones needed.....

AnswerDon't think AirPods will change its design to include noise cancelling.
But do checkout Apple's Beats line of headphones. They have W1 chip and do have offerings in different shapes and functionalities. If there is going to be a noise cancelling model, it is likely that they will be added under the Beats side of product line. -

You can double-tap either AirPod to activate and use Siri, and control track, volume and more.

I see you can make calls through Siri. But I don't see anything about receiving calls. Can you receive calls with the Airpods
- Asked by Kevin S from Richmond
- 07-Sep-2016
- Flag as inappropriate (I see you can make calls through Siri. But I don't see anything about receiving calls. Can you receive calls with the Airpods)
AnswerWhen a call comes in, Siri can announce it. Double-tap to answer. Later, you can double-tap to hang up or switch to another call.
The Announce Calls feature is off by default, but you can turn it on and adjust it under Settings > Phone > Announce Calls.
You can have all incoming calls announced, only calls when you're in the car or using headphones, or only calls with headphones.- Answered by Allison H from Wilmington

How quickly can these switch between apple devices? I have iPhone 7, Apple Watch Series 2, and MBP retina.
The only way these really appeal to me over my current bluetooth headphones is that I want to be able to use on all my apple devices seamlessly without having to unpair each time or turn bluetooth off on my iPhone each time. How will the process of switching headphone use from iPhone to MBP and vice versa work?

Answeryou just hit airplay by swiping up from the bottom and select them. takes maybe 2 seconds from start to end. much better than bluetooth only ones

Are they water resistant
- Asked by Kunta K from Little Rock
- 26-Jul-2017
- Flag as inappropriate (Are they water resistant)
AnswerI hope so; but I believe it is not water resistant. Most water resistant earphones/headphones have additional features over their normal counterpart such as different earbud, earcup, earpad. Most of which are covered with rubber/silicone. The AirPods is just like EarPods, just that it's wireless.
