It's honestly kind of impressive that Apple's 1st gen products are engineered so good, the only improvement a half a decade later (well, almost) is a new charging connector. That's how you know they get it right the first time... nearly always. Pretty impressive, IMO.
No. What's impressive is Apple can get away with making virtually zero improvement to a product after 4 years because people will still buy it.

You realize they’re not actually four years old right? These are new ones made probably recently.

I would like to see a newer version come out but even if a new version was released today it’s not going to be this big night and day difference. You’re going to have some new Bluetooth connection features, a slight improvement in ANC and maybe longer battery life. I don’t even think I would buy them because my current pair work just fine.
Of course they weren’t “made” 4 years ago, duh. The tech is, however, 4 years old. And yes, we all want new features.
