Back in the day, Apple would never miss a beat announcing a product and being available right after its launch. In fact the Apple faithful would always end up mocking tech companies that were known to unveil new products that aren't readily available months after their announcement.
Gone are those days, though, and Apple's consistency in launching readily available products has rapidly declined over the years, consistently putting the public consumer on skates. The most recent example is the release of Apple's AirPods.
After Being introduced during the launching of the IPhone 7 and inline with the company's decision to take out the 3.5mm headphone jack for their latest flagship smartphone. The AirPods were launched as a sleek and high tech alternative to the standard wired headphones. Months after it was launched rumors suggest that after the long wait the AirPods might be available to the public next week.
As originally reported by BGR, Apple might be keen on releasing the AirPod as soon as possible. Talks have surfaced that the long awaited wireless headphone might be ready for shipping after weeks of delay following Apple's September announcement. Several sources have revealed the AirPods will be shipped to stores on November 17.
A German-language Apple website Apfelpage.de has indicated launching it a day earlier than the scheduled launch which is set on November 18 or 19. If the rumors are true the AirPod might be available before the Holiday Season kicks in.
However we might have to take the hype with a grain of salt, as most of these are third-party rumors and Apple has been known to throw off consumers by releasing their products on different indicated dates.That being said, the Apple must be delaying the process to coincide with this year's Holiday Season, where everyone is expected to purchase the wireless device. The company might have timed it perfectly. Apple at its best; releasing their products where the profit counts the most.
