Learn why AirPods have been delayed and how it affects Apple

Although some people have criticized the look or the very proposal of Apple’s wireless headsets when they were announced – during the same event that unveiled the iPhone 7 family to the world – it is a fact that many of the brand’s consumers did not see the time to experience the brand new AirPods . Unfortunately, the accessory – not attached to the phone box – had its release delayedseveral times and this lack of product on the market may be causing problems for the manufacturer.

For now, no one knew exactly why the Company Apple has not released the device to consumers, with speculation ranging from possible conflicts in pairing the headset with mobile phones to difficulties in production lines in China . According to a source in The Wall Street Journal, the first theory is most likely the closest to the truth.

Synchronization and signal problems can be the villains of the time

According to the site, a person close to the project said that Apple is suffering to cause the wireless device to properly converse with the products in the house, with the central problem being how the Bluetooth connections of the gadget are managed. Connections? That’s right, as each AirPod receives signals independently of each other, there is a need for a double connection.

CHOOSING A MORE SOPHISTICATED SCHEME SEEMS TO HAVE COMPLICATED HISTORY

Currently, on most wireless headsets and headsets, one end of the product receives the signal and shares the other sound output, allowing only one air connection to be made between the two components. In the case of AirPods, the choice for a more sophisticated scheme seems to have considerably complicated this story. In addition to ensuring that the two pieces receive audio in a synchronized and undistorted way, everything indicates that Apple is still thinking about what to do if the user loses one of the items or his battery runs out.

The mistake? A little of everything…

Other rumors, this time published by the Phone Arena, say that it was the first international press and technology professionals who sent the Bluetooth headsets back to the design table, probably due to such a serious problem that it would completely ruin the experience with the device. How serious? Well, the case seems to be critical enough that Apple prefers to lose end-of-the-year sales than to put a troublesome product on the market.

In any case, this does not seem to be the only business strategy bug to fall on AirPods. The decision to remove the 3.5mm input from the new iPhones, for example, virtually required the company to launch the headsets simultaneously with the cellphones, making it possible to power that demand for wireless equipment from the outset. With the delays, the company has left a good chunk of those initial sales of the accessory to third parties.

Losing one of these can be a problem …

In addition, it seems that even when the item is made available in retail, users will end up having to contend with slapping the headphones. The reason? The late manufacture of the gadget in China has an expectation of producing 10 to 15 million units of the toy. The number may seem high, but it is only a fifth of the combined output of the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. Will it be that when they are finally released, there will be some AirPods left for Brazil for that precocious – nothing – comrade?
