Why is this still only available in white?
Branding.
Remember the iconic dancing shadow iPod commercials? The person was not the focus; not even the iPod was the focus. The white headphones, unique at the time, were the focus.

#32The big additions: 50% more talk time, hands free Siri, and a new optional wireless charging case.
Thanks. Apple likes to showcase the new model so it's hard to know what's changed.
Re: AirPods
#33I love my AirPods but I am close to taking mine to the store again to be replaced for a second time. I wear them every day to listen to podcasts as I run for 30 minutes. The accumulated sweat has corroded the charging contacts in the case. I am currently working around this by charging them in my girlfriend's case. Amusingly, the instructions for AirPods say to not get them wet. I don't know how one could exercise ri…
Sounds like user error. Are you not wiping them off before you put them in the case? I don't believe they are marketed for exercise. In fact, looking at the AirPod page there is zero mention of exercise.

#34Any word on additional waterproofing capabilities? I can't find any mention
Re: AirPods
#35All it takes is one odd jostle on your morning commute, and suddenly your $150 headphones fly down a storm drain. Why can't we have high quality wired headsets?
I have been running with mine for a couple of years and I have never had one of them fall out.
Not everyone's ear is shaped the same. Which is why most other upper end earphones will come with a variety of attachable foam and/or rubber pieces so you can fit the ear bud to your ear.
edit:
Why am I getting downvoted for pointing out a fact that peoples ears are shaped differently? Is this some kind of fanboyism in effect because it wasn't meant as a critisim against Apple. I happen to have an iPhone but opted for 3rd party earphones because they fit better.

Should probably wipe them off before putting them in the charger...
"Just avoid holding it in that way"
Re: AirPods
#37I wished they used USB-C for the wired charging.

It is definitely user error. I thought they were for use while exercising. Since realizing that the problem is tiny bits of water collecting in the tiny little cavity of the case, I leave them out to dry before putting them back in. This certainly makes them less handy.
