Many are the users who have been waiting throughout the month of October for the launch of the AirPods, the new wireless headphones that Apple presented in the September keynote against all odds. In theory and as announced by Apple, the headphones would hit the market during the month of October, but days before the end of the month, the Cupertino-based company announced that it finally could not meet the deadline and the launch was delayed indefinitely. A few days later It was announced that they would arrive in January 2017 from different Chinese sources. Now new rumors related to Apple, assure that the AirPods will finally reach the market before the end of the year, to take advantage of the pull that Christmas sales entail.
According to AppleInsider, which has contacted its sources of all creditworthiness within Apple, rumors that Apple would launch the AirPods in January were unfounded, since the intention of the company is to delay the launch just and necessary to have enough inventory to be able to deliver all the orders they estimate. Rumors about the possible launch in January are originated by the Chinese publication, DigiTimes, which on many occasions leaks information about Apple's component suppliers.
On this occasion DigiTimes stated that the company Inventec expected to increase its profits from January next year. Invente is one of the suppliers of the different components that are part of the AirPods, and DigiTimes has only had to run its imagination to launch a rumor without any foundation. If you see the delay, you have invested the money in another device, you can start saving again to be able to get the AirPods for this Christmas, as long as Apple has enough stock to cover the high demand that is expected.
