Why are apple products so slippery and diffult to handle?

I live in a dry climate, so my skin is often pretty dry, too. My air pods are constantly flying out of my fingers because they are designed to look cool but they are SO slippery. Just curious if Apple has any plans to change this design feature.

It's no more than a matter of personal usage. So, recommend to Apple that they make the change.

What are your suggestions for getting the pods out of your pockets and into your ears without handling them?


I can’t even use my new phone without a case and it won’t be here for 2 days. My phone fell off the wireless charger last night at 2am for no reason other than it is so slippery!!!!


it makes me mad at Apple. I just spent $1000. I should be able to handle it without a case while I’m sitting in my comfy chair in the living room.
