Apple has delayed the release of its recently announced AirPods. The company revealed that customers would have to wait longer to purchase its wireless headphones in a statement provided to TechCrunch.
“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 told TechCrunch.
Apple didn't reveal whether the issues delaying the release were hardware or software related. Originally, the AirPods were set to ship in late October and many expected them to launch alongside Apple's new Macs tomorrow.
Unfortunately, Apple hasn't provided a new timeline for AirPods' release.

How can headphones explode? Plus, maybe they're taking time to perfect it and they still are a step ahead at least!

Yeah I was a big android fan because they would release phones so quick and Apple took forever. Not anymore. I believe in reliability and workmanship. Kudos to Apple. Shame Samsung.

Take your time and make a good and safe product, Apple! We don't want another Samsung Note 7 fiasco!

Maybe they are redesigning it in the last minute. I'm hoping.
