Tim Cook is reported to of said he expects AirPods to ship over the ‘next few weeks’
According to an email supposedly sent from Apple CEO, Tim Cook; the Cupertino company expects AirPods to begin to ship over the ‘next few weeks’. – First announced in September, then delayed in October, Apple’s wireless headphones have been somewhat of a mystery. In October, the company said they needed “a little more time” before AirPods are ready for customers however since then have been reluctant to comment or share a predicted date for release.
The email, which was sent to MacRumours, appears to of been sent from an Apple corporate server however while the email’s full headers have been verified, it’s unclear if this email genuinely originated from Apple or if it was produced to misconceive.
Customer’s comment: “Give us a release date. I really bought in to the wireless vision you painted. Now I’m stuck waiting with my EarPods but can’t charge my 7 at the same time which I need to do at work. Let us know if it’s a month or 6 months, because then I’ll just buy some other wireless headphones.”
Tim Cook’s response: “Thanks for your note. Sorry for the delay—we are finalizing them and I anticipate we will begin to ship over the next few weeks.”
