For, let me make this absolutely clear: the AirPods are really all about showcasing what can be done with a wireless headphone rather than delivering stunning sound. Let me repeat: the sound quality on the AirPods is not bad at all – it is well above average in fact – but it is not the stuff of which audiophile dreams are made....

Maps are present on Uber Lite if a user wants but they’re optional and can be revealed by tapping the “See on map” option....
