Yeah - exactly. They are to concerned with their margins and earnings instead of making products people actually want. They have left people that have supported this company through it all with macs that are outdated, a sore attempt at a fashion company, an iPhone and iPad that you cannot plug into a new Macbook pro straight out of the box without an adapter, and one that you can't listen to music on without buying a new pair of headphones.
Apple doesn't have courage. They are what we have come to hate. They are what MS once was. Apple owns most media and has locked it down via iTunes store.. and control all access to it via their devices.
Maybe if Apple actually released a decent laptop, or updated their iMac line, I would feel differently. Now they are just a mobile corporate sucking profit margin price gouging conglomerate with a fan base of people that buy computers because they are pretty.
Sorry Apple - I am done with you.

You signed up just to say that? What's the going per-post pay rate for a troll?
Looks like no one's biting the Apple over here in the U.K-still showing as available for delivery on 19/12.
I snagged two pairs for delivery on the 21st... this is perfect since it's my Christmas gift to myself. Probably gonna gift the other pair to one of my parents. I'm just so excited to get them.

Think I have a really good chance of just going in next monday to the apple store and seeing if they have any. I think we will know the actual release date before the weekend though.
me as well
prices on ebay are already between 300-1000$.. yeah you read that right.
what is even MORE interesting is that buyers were paying 300-400$ up to TWO WEEKS ago for BIN auctions, without any knowledge that the product would be available? Or did they?

I'm aware. But I'm slowly migrating myself away from Apple, as I question their recent decisions and product quality. These have been out for awhile and have good reviews. The Airpods are brand new and have zero reviews, aside from the initial press reviews.
need a pair for work as wire keeps getting snagged and pulls out of ear very annoying , done a trial by cutting wire off an old pair and tried for a couple of days in work never fell out once
Not sure about this, sounds like a rush job to get out around Christmas and we know what happens when companies rush a product to market. I think a lot of people are going to find problems with this first delivery batch. It would be better if Apple just declared they missed their holiday target and instead focused on 100% quality rather then rushing to fulfill preorders just barely in time for Christmas. How many of them will be returned early 2017 for an updated batch?
All the trolls on here are totally ruining this website. Don't like the earphones? Don't buy them!

Ordered at 11:30 EST. Got delivery estimate of January 12. Apple really missed the boat on this product as at this price point if the masses had really gotten to know about these Apple could have sold many millions of these for Christmas in the U.S. alone. Now "word" won't really get out until right before Christmas and only resellers will have them and they will seek $100 markups.
