Apple Delays Release of AirPods

If you have been keeping up to date with Apple, you know that their latest product, the iPhone 7 has no headphone jack.

Their “Air Pods” are designed to connect wirelessly, like Blue Tooth devices, to the iPhone 7. Their battery can last for up to five hours of playback, and its carrying case can recharge their battery up to five times over that. At first, they were meant to be released this October, but now, the date is unknown. The company states that “it is not ready yet” and “needs more time.”

An Apple spokesperson stated, “The early response to Air Pods has been incredible. We don’t believe in shipping a product before it’s ready, and we need a little more time before the Air Pods are ready for our customers.”

The new release date is still unknown, but maybe, in response to consumers’ review of the iPhone 7, and that there are hardly any new features, Apple is taking time to perfect their technology to give people the best thing they can offer.

Although we don’t know when the Air Pods will come out, we can infer that Apple is stepping up their game to make their products better instead of just dishing them out without much development. Possibly, if the Air Pods are a success, it could lead to more wireless products in the future.
