headphones AirPods were presented by the Apple company at the beginning of September, with a release date announced for the end of October. October has come and gone, and Apple has announced that AirPods are not yet ready for the official release, but avoided offering a possible date for the sale of the new headphones.
In the absence of information coming directly from the Apple company, sources from Apple's partner company, Inventec, claim that AirPods would be launched in January 2017. We are talking about a delay of almost 3 months in bringing these headphones to the market, a sign that there are serious problems with their functionality, or even their production.
In general, the Apple company avoids announcing products many months before they are officially launched and prefers to present them only when they are ready to put them on sale. The AirPods case is an unfortunate one, but we are not talking about a first for the Apple company, in the past there have been similar cases with products not prepared on time.
Of course, this is just a rumor at the moment, but in the absence of other information from Apple or partners in the US, we can't really believe anything else. AirPods were heavily criticized by many people because of the high price charged by the Apple company, so probably few suffer because of this postponement of the launch.
"Apple originally planned to release the AirPods at the end of October, but has postponed the release. Inventec is expected to begin shipping AirPods in January 2017."
