After reading reviews on Tuesday about Apple’s new Beats Pill, I went and tried to pick one up – only to realize it was on sale on Thursday. So today, I went to the Apple Store and actually picked one up.
Here’s the features listed that caught my eye:
- The Beats Pill’s streamlined design features a 20-degree upward tilt to help deliver sound waves towards your head, away from objects that might obstruct them.
- Enjoy up to 24 hours of battery life for all-day continuous playback.³ The Beats Pill can even be used to charge your phone and other devices via USB-C cable.
- IP67-rated for dust and water resistance for outstanding durability on the go.²
- Designed for ultimate portability, including the removable lanyard and soft-grip silicone backing.
- Dual compatibility for both iOS and Android enables one-touch Bluetooth® pairing, automatic pairing across your other devices, and Find My or Find My Device.
Apple’s site doesn’t mention Lossless Audio, but here’s the description from the Beats by Dre site:
Enjoy high-resolution lossless audio from your Beats Pill by connecting it to your laptop or other compatible devices via the USB‑C cable.
Plus, you know I’m going to automate this thing with Shortcuts.
