Back in October, American company Apple declared that its wireless Bluetooth AirPods was being holdup. No solid reason was given for postponing AirPod’s launch date apart from a statement from the company mentions more time was required to launch the device to market. Fans hop that the AirPods would still be ready in time for the holiday shopping season, but we didn’t hear any announcement by the company it’s already a week and a half in December.
The Barclays banking firm said last month that Apple was ready to start production of the AirPods this month, though construction would be limited to 10 million to 15 million units. Considering that the original reason for the wireless technology was the elimination of the 3.5mm headphone jack in the current flagship iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus.
It seems that Apple is resources are limited in producing the wireless ear buds, if Barclay’s estimation is precise iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus manufacturing will outnumber the imagine new ornament by a 5 to 1 margin at best.
Moreover, some rumors hint that Apple will launch iPhone 7s instead of iPhone 8 in 2017. The device is expected to come with A11 chipset and red color option.
