Back in September Apple promised Australia the AirPods would be with us by the end of October. Well it's December - where the bloody hell are they?
According to Techcrunch, Apple have delayed the AirPods because they "need a little more time".
An Apple spokesperson said:
“The early response to AirPods has been incredible. We don’t believe in shipping a product before it’s ready, and we need a little more time before AirPods are ready for our customers,”
Meanwhile the Apple website has removed the late October date and replaced it with the less specific "coming soon." Apparently, not soon enough for Christmas gifting!
No one is quite sure what the hold-up is, so should we keep waiting around for them to turn up - sometime?
According to Apple, of course we should.
"AirPods are simple and magical to use, with no switches or buttons, automatically connecting to all your Apple devices simply and seamlessly, and letting you access Siri with just a double tap. We can’t wait for users to try them with iPhone 7 and Apple Watch Series 2.”
We can't wait either, or can we?
Well after watching this round-up by The iPhone Show on IDG.tv, I will definitely be waiting.
BTW the price mentioned in the video of $159, that's American. In Australia the AirPods will be $229.
