Apple AirPods – what can you say about the little white earbuds? Simply remarkable and a real box office hit.
When Apple first introduced the AirPods in 2016, there were a lot of jokes about the little plugs - but their success speaks for itself. A new analysis proves this once again. In a new report, Strategy Analytics estimates around 60 million units sold in 2019. Sales could account for around 71 percent of revenue from worldwide sales of wireless headphones - according to the report.
Bloomberg estimates further increase in 2020
In the Christmas quarter alone, Cupertino is said to have sold AirPods worth around four billion US dollars. Strategy Analytics assumes that the growth of AirPods and the entire market for wireless headphones will continue. The news channel Bloomberg already predicted sales of 60 million in November. The new AirPods Pro are available for 279 euros, while the second generation of the popular plugs costs around 175 euros. The special thing about the AirPods Pro is the new ANC function. The white earphones have transparent and active noise cancellation. The new in-ear design makes this possible. You don't have AirPods yet? Then take a look at our Apfelpatient Amazon Shop over.
