Apple is the champion of providing magical experiences THAT JUST DON'T WORK. Just now, my girlfriend started typing in our new Wi-Fi password on her iPhone; *magically* a pop-up appeared on my phone asking if I wanted to share the password with her. I pressed yes, but it didn't work.

AirPods should automatically switch between devices, and when they do, it really feels like magic. But in 10% of cases, they don't, and it is super annoying, whereas my regular Bluetooth headset just works.

Playing music via AirPlay on multiple HomePods, too, feels like magic when it works™. But in 50% of cases, it doesn't, and even when it does, pausing the music or skipping tracks has a multi-second delay between pressing the button and the HomePod reacting.
