How did the world respond to Airpods?
During the launch of iPhone 7 and Apple Watch Series 2, ‘Airpods’ release was announced in September 2016. It didn’t get much attention when introduced to the public as the first wireless headphones with bluetooth system. $159 USD was too high as a price to pay for Airpods which can get lost in no time without leaving any trace. There was a hesitation to invest money in something which a person can lose in a crowd. Apple decided to cut off jack wires from iPhones to launch Airpods. Now all iPhone packages won’t include wired headphones. And they introduced a separate wired headset adapter to connect headphones with iPhones.
This was a marketing tactic as it would cost around $159 USD which is the same price as Airpods. Apple took the risk and depleted its value that year but later it showed all benefits of using Airpods to drive the attention of users. Airpods and its charging box were designed in a way that it can be easily carried, there is no worry of getting tangled earphones in wire and then wasting your time and efforts in detangling it. Another good thing is how you can move freely and even put your phone on the table while doing any physical work. With wired earphones, you cannot move freely as it has limited wire length and you have to move in that range only. If you move further and stretch your wire, it might break or won’t function anymore.
Now users raised the criticism that they can do the same with Speakers but Apple responded with “What about the privacy of others?” It was a valid question, you cannot volume up your speakers in public places and disturb others just to move freely.
And this is where Airpods came to help those users. Now with so many versions every year, it is getting success and everything is going according to the plan made by Apple. Apple proved how it’s a reasonable price to pay for Airpods as they were more convenient and high technology was used in making it effective.
Airpods have been released in Three Generations till now : First Generation Airpods were launched on December 13, 2016, Second Generation Airpods were launched on March 20, 2019 and Third Generation Airpods were launched on October 26, 2021
