Apple Watch Diary: End of an era, as I return to dumb watches

Keeping up with what’s new from Apple’s accessory store always fascinates me. The latest is one of the more interesting grab bags in recent memory. Exhibit A: The $46 Tech21 EvoArt case for AirPods Max. Yep, Apple now sells a protective case for AirPods Max — with stickers! Not actual stickers, but that’s the look the EvoArt case is going for with melting smiley faces and hearts. There’s also a clear version if tongues and reminders to be kind aren’t your cup of tea.

If that’s the case, you may want to hide the wear-and-tear? These shields go for under $10.
