Can you answer phone call by saying "Answer" as Q2 bluetooth one can(10years ago)??? Apple surely should add that in there software geez, simple. When a call rings, have Siri listen for "answer" or "ignore". if hears "answer" then answer call hands free!

How do you define better audio quality? Do you mean musicality or the fact that they have a better seal?

apple is doing to the word “pro” what internet service providers did to the word “unlimited”.  that is making the term meaningless in the context of their business. all the while laughing all the way to the bank,

Yes, and I love that it triggers self-anointed “Pro” users. I don’t know what labeling oneself a Pro does to the psyche but they love doing it.

You must be new to Apple. You should know that in Apple parlance, pro almost always means "premium". The top tier in the good/better/best offerings. Lots of students have MacBook Pros, for example, and lots of hobbyists had the old Mac Pro. Aside from the new Mac Pro workstations, I can't think of a product where this wasn't the case.

Thus, the term does have meaning. Just not the one you think it should.
