AirPods Max Now Backordered Until March in All Colors [Updated]

[The Game 161]

I have to think they had low stock levels

Congrats to those that got em and can actually afford them without maxing your cards. Otherwise you’re insane. At that price you don’t even get an analog cable included. That’s another 40 bucks. And I thought apple pricing stainless steel watches so high was robbery. This is a new level.

Jesus **** people are actually buying them as well 😑

If Apple will not accept returns, many people will think twice before purchacing.

Glad I got my order in yesterday!

A lot of suckers, or a lot of people with ridiculous amounts of disposable income. Likely both.

I'm curious: how does purchasing a useful, high-end and stylish tech product from a reputable company make someone a "sucker"? Is someone forcing them to buy it, or is Apple somehow lying about what the product can do?

People can’t return them. Where did you read that? Is it just the Apple Store or other stores like Best Buy as well?

Holy mother of god. I can’t imagine what these are going to sell for on eBay for the holidays.

I was working with 2000 Euro headphones in the studio back in the days. People act like $500 for headphones is a lot. Maybe they are just not for you then? Apple doesn't owe you cheaper headphones. Its like me being angry at Audi pricing the A6 way more that my A3. But I want that A6 for the same lower price! How dare they!!

I like my Apple stuff but the only thing more baffling to me than the price (esp. during a pandemic) is the carrying case design.

Whoever designed the case for some reason had a brah and/or purse on their mind.

guessing they wanted a case where you don't want or need to close the headphones like most other over ear headphones are made

Yeesh, either this is because of a lack of supply or the demand for these is much higher than we thought even with the $549 price

Option 2 most likely.

Almost certainly lack of supply
