I've probably saved at least $10k on vacations/restaurants/events not taken this year, and I can't imagine I'm alone in that. If someone were to spend $550 on headphones that will last them 3-5 years at least...why is that such a big deal?
It's not selling like hot cakes. They underproduce them. They do it with several products to boost the hype.Indeed.
It's the same story over and over again, lately – with the exception, maybe, for the HomePod, maybe...
It's ugly, pricy, Apple is doomed, terrible, LOL, what are smoking at Apple, etc. ... and yet it's selling like hot cakes.
Is this some kind of joke? You know "might have been like 500" is a completely unrealistic (and fabricated) assumption of the likely real limited stock scenario... why use a lie as a foundation to your "selling out"/marketing point?
Enjoy your new purchase and the 10 minutes dopamine from it mateI've probably saved at least $10k on vacations/restaurants/events not taken this year, and I can't imagine I'm alone in that.

Also, I've bought enough Apple stock over the years that these sort of purchases pay for themselves, many times over. I like to think of it more of a rebate/dividend re-investment...
It makes no sense to spend the money to design a product, set up manufacturing and a supply chain, invest in marketing, etc and then artificially hold back production.excess of demand or lack of stock
Hmm … you had a microwave in the 60's? Time traveling to the mid-late '70's and stealing home appliances.

I woke up at 5:30 a just for the blind buy because I was hoping they would be headphones. Got the blues too.Funny I squeaked in and got the blue ones before the ship date jumped.
They will sell like hotcakes. Rando people will try any look clever by whining about the price, or claiming they can build a better set using duck tape, pipe cleaners and salvaged parts from the 80s stereo system. It's clearly a niche product. And it will sell. If it isn't for you, why comment?
Not like everyone in here who only purchases the perfectly reasonably priced other Apple stuff!
Ha! We had some friends that got an "Amana Radar Range" I think around '76. To my memory it was the first microwave sold to consumers. Big huge thing with chrome trim. Would be a sweet retro thing nowadays … to zap your entire house.
"Microwave? Sorry, never heard of that brand".
That’s because the people that can afford them aren’t complaining on a rumor site about price they are working LOLwho is buying those? everyone on MR was saying they are expensive
It a niche product but will sell like hotcakes? In my opinion, this is similar to the book Apple sold for some crazy amount.... Will some people buy it? obviously, I see these as a Homepod 2.0 debacle. Most consumers can not justify paying 300-400$ for "high-end" headphones. I do not see these doing well in a world of Sony and Bose offering great gear for less. I am sure the "reviews" are gonna be wild and a lot of hyperbole will be used to describe how amazing they are, but most people outside of reddit and forums like this will not care whatsoever.
