Namely, AirPods were supposed to be launched as early as October, but got delayed until mid-December and were successfully sold instantly after being offered in Apple’s online store.
„A Run-Away Success“
Apple’s AirPods were described by Tom Cook in late December as a „run-away success“ while he was speaking to CNBC and he gave his word that the company was producing more as fast as they could. Limited supplies of AirPods are being shipped to the retail stores at the moment, and Apple lists a six-week shipping time for orders on its site. The wireless headphones are only offered online at the moment, whereas AirPods are currently being sold by major U. S. carriers and big box retailers.
