AirPods: The new company product are controversial due to the fact that they are wireless and designed to work with the company’s upcoming mobile devices. However, the AirPods serve as more than earbuds as linking them to your iPhone also connects them to other devices through iCloud. The device retails for $159 and it offers five hours of listening on their own, and they are more comfortable and convenient than the company’s EarPods.

iPhone 7 Reviews: The highly anticipated iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus have plenty of hype behind them, and some early adopters believe the devices are worth the hype, while others don’t see much of a difference between the new smartphones and the previous models. “The iPhone 7 and 7 Plus are deeply unusual devices. They are full of aggressive breaks from convention while wrapped in cases that look almost exactly like their two direct predecessors,” wrote a journalist from The Verge. Meanwhile The New York Times lauded the iPhone 7, noting the camera is better, the gadgets are faster than the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, and the battery lasts significantly longer.

Tidal Rumors: The rumor mill suggests that Apple’s next big acquisition will be streaming music service Tidal, but the company has refuted these claims for now. The tech giant said it wasn’t looking to buy any music services at the moment, but it did not deny that it may be in talks with Tidal for a future acquisition.

AAPL stock is up 2.9% Thursday.
