My favorite feature on the AirPods Max is the auto-off feature. It doubles as an auto-on, which means when you take them out of your backpack, the battery is dead.

Apple's "solution" for this is to use the carrying case, which is cumbersome and creates more physical waste than just allowing us to press one of the already existing buttons on the device to turn it on and off ourselves. 

 I have a little stand for mine on my desk. No way to turn them off. They just slowly drain. 

 Silly isn't it, especially for a $500 consumer device that does one thing.
