The beamforming microphones in AirPods-2019 are far more optimized for Siri. There is better sensitivity with the MEMS and a generation ahead in how beamforming will work. I also suspect that LiveListen functionality will be greatly improved by this, as well as other uses!

Shame on you for putting old information as new! This is actually W1 chip information from TechInsights teardown done in January 2017. https://www.techinsights.com/about-techinsights/overview/blog/airpods-airpods-and-the-W1-wireless-SoC-squeezing-innovative-technology-inside-very-small-packages/ …

Mustafa, I hear ya. The BOM is not old information at all. The W1/2 is precisely the same basic architecture in the H1. They are based on the exact same SoC, internal opcodes and pipelines. They are ARM systems with new software.

Brian, we wrote about this back in 2016. :) "As mobile SoCs provide more performance per watt, computation itself becomes less expensive. As computation becomes less expensive, this induces greater demand and more use of computation." Enjoy!https://superpowered.com/ear-computing-apple-w1-processing-computation …

How much storage is on the SoC?
-
Robert, thanks for asking. Great question. The H1 onboard SOC memory is unknown as of today. There will be ways to figure this out. The interesting part is just how many “apps” may fit on AirPods-2019.

What about the audio quality? With that info can we know if is it better than airpods 1g?
-
Jose, great question! The audio quality and the latency has really improved. This seems to be a full Bluetooth 5 throughput.

Rock, great question. I would say $4 is accurate. It is interesting how the Q compatibility is rolling out with Apple devices...
