Apple: AirPods production runs out of steam as demand grows

Call’s wireless AirPods are a huge success worldwide, Big success for Apple AirPods

The global success of AirPods continues to grow. The firm at the apple itself is probably surprise by the magnitude of the phenomenon. This new concept of wireless headphones seems to prevail worldwide, arousing the interest of an incredible number of consumers.

The phenomenon AirPods had been introduced in 2016. Simultaneously with the announcement of the release of the iPhone 7 and its big brother 7 Plus. With this generation of high-end earphones, the firm at the apple had realized the advent of wireless headphones; going so far as to remove the headphone outputs on new mobiles.

Their price, which amounts however to the honorable amount of 179 euros, does nothing to stem the phenomenon. According to a source from KGI, no less than 14 million units were welcome in 2017 from the manufacturer’s factories and probably an impressive 28 million in 2018.

With the release of AirPods, Apple seems to have surfed the right wave and have anticipated the demand and need of consumers. This tremendous gamble to make wired headphones obsolete has not only been followed by consumers but has been strongly encouraged by growing demand and orders of Apple AirPods

The phenomenon is such that Apple is currently unable to honor a lot of orders made for the holiday season. On the site of Apple itself, the delivery times are only getting longer. The AirPods are not available before early January 2018 are also issue. These wireless headphones are also assigned via other media, but again deadlines get longer and reach around thirty days.

Faced with this difficulty, Apple had to use a second subcontractor, Luxshare. Luxshare is to increase production of AirPods, previously produced exclusively by Inventec.
