I think we are taking comments from a third rate website saying they have the inside track.....a wee bit too seriously. Apple's site still shows late Oct. Apple would have either done that change on the site already or a day ago...
Got a tip for us?

Thank you your sense of humour is great this is fantastic.
Microsoft dropped quite a bomb in their lap with this release 24 hours before theirs. Whatever Apple talks about will look like a response to ...all that. VR headsets and giant touchscreen workstations, vs... a little touch sensitive control strip and some wireless headphones.... man they better have some big news, or this little stuff is going to look like they've been twiddling their thumbs this whole time.
Thank you! I really cannot understand why Apple didn't think this part through. I'm still buying them, but I certainly wish they had the same control functions EarPods do.
I saw that too, but they will address this tomorrow at the Mac event. Its delayed
Microsoft didn't drop anything, their stuff still runs on the same crappy operating system. Hardware doesn't mean crap, if software is garbage.
It's not 1997 anymore.
Q#%&@$&. I was more excited about these than I was about the new iPhone.
I really, really want to buy a pair of these....

I agree with you, I am interested in trying these out, but normal apple headphones have always fallen out, anything longer than 20, 30 min.. have caused pain.
The mature, adult side of my brain compliments Apple on their dedication to selling me the best product possible while my inner child screams I want them NOW! Guess which is louder. 
This is the quote from the article, "The early response to AirPods has been incredible. We don't believe in shipping a product before it's ready, and we need a little more time before AirPods are ready for our customers," an Apple spokesperson said to TechCrunch.
Yet they "release" the second Apple Watch, and just like the first iteration, there are none to actually purchase. Now they don't have these ready when they said they would. My prediction is that when they do "release" these, later than they said they would, you won't be able to actually buy any because they wont have any stock available.
I gave up on buying an Apple Watch the first time because by the time I was able to actually buy them the urge had worn off and I was pissed at the way they handled the "release"
Same thing happened this time with Apple Watch 2. I've given up on purchasing one. Seeing this news about the air pods, I am officially over them. I'll keep using my wired headphones that came with my 7 Plus.
This Apple fanboy is starting to lose my enamor with Apple.

But it was an Apple spokes person that said this and not TechCrunch... Thet just haven't updated their site yet.
i wish they would stop announcing products and saying available later .. just announce it when it is done and ready
Careful, the Cupertino kids are on here shouting down naysayers.
Microsoft didn't "drop" anything. I think you're forgetting it still runs Windows...
Microsoft's announcement shouldn't have been a big surprise in Cupertino. A touch-enabled Surface AIO has long been rumored. VR is still a bit gimmicky and has yet to take off.
