Apple Disappoints Tech Fans by Delaying the Release of Airpod

Apple has launched the Airpod along with the iPhone 7 just a few month ago which took everyone by surprise. Apple did away with the headphone jack in the latest iPhone which didn’t go well with a number of consumers, fans and critics alike. But at the same time Apple came up with an innovative concept of Airpod which are essentially wireless headphones. A recent announcement from Apple has revealed that the Airpod wouldn’t be ready for Christmas sale and this has disappointed it fans all across the globe. The reason for delaying the release of the Airpod is attributed to the fact that Apple requires more time in resolving some of the issues which might adversely affect the user experience.

Missing Christmas launch will seriously hit ‘revenue’

During the iPhone launch event in September Apple promised to make the AirPods available in the month of October. But things didn’t go as planned and launch was delayed further with no date set for its sales. A number of reports emerged in the media which stated that Apple AirPods are way complex than the simpler Bluetooth headphones.

In the regular wireless headphones the receiving of Bluetooth signal in just one earpiece while AirPods are designed to receive sign in both. This has aggravated the problems for Apple as it I struggling to resolve the delay of receiving and syncing of the audio between the headphones. Another major issue to resolve for Apple is to ensure that AirPods keeps functioning well enough even after the battery dies in one of the headphones.

After ages Apple postpones product launch

This is first time in last six years that Apple has postponed the launch of its product in this case AirPods. The last postponement came in 2010 when iPhone 4 was delayed due to manufacturing problems. Earlier this month Apple CEO sent across an email wherein it stated that the company is finalising the details for the AirPods and it will begin shipping in next few weeks.

A chief technologist from WiFore Wireless Consulting has shed some light on the postponement of AirPods which has left millions of fans disappointed worldwide. He clarified that Apple is going to bring a breakthrough product in the market which will act as a epitome of wireless communication therefore it can’t risk going wrong in any manner. However even he opined that missing the Christmas sale season will certainly impact the popularity, reach and revenue as a whole for Apple but it is worth than coming up with a malfunctioning device.

Secondly Apple has to deal with a number of skepticism with the launch of iPhone 7 which happened to be minor upgrade upon its last version. This emerged from the trend set by Apple wherein ‘s’ lineup mean minor upgrade while ‘number’ specific release resulted in a more refined and feature rich device with bump in specification as well. On other hand one of the Apple spokesperson stated that Apple believes in launching only when it is completely ready.
