I was shocked by how much the Airpods cost, and yet still ended up buying a pair. Have been absolutely delighted. I guess I wasn't alone!
I'm seeing them more and more often these days on joggers and other people walking around.
I don't think they've really taken off in Europe.
"Apple no longer reports iPhone, iPad, and Mac unit sales numbers..." Probably because they only care about revenue and profits these days, not innovation and products. Apple didn't get to where they are by optimizing the supply chain but by coming up with incredible products that everyone HAD to have. I bought an iPhone last spring because it was the least-bad option in my opinion; if the Librem 5 is a flop I don't…
Because the number is the wrong metric for measuring the health of their products and customers. Unfortunately, the financial analysts have been so intensely focused on unit metrics to the point that they can't seem to grasp the true reality and condition of the company. As a result, Apple had to go so far as to: 1) State that their goal is to make their devices last longer. 2) Stop giving unit numbers. Still, I anti…
Either a lie or they don't know what the word 'goal' means after shipping their devices with high failure rate keyboards?
> The Company posted quarterly revenue of $58 billion, a decline of 5 percent from the year-ago quarter, and quarterly earnings per diluted share of $2.46, down 10 percent. So they are shrinking, not growing.

I've still never seen a single pair in person, despite living in a major city some of the year (London). I don't think they've really taken off in Europe.

Remove China from their numbers, and they are growing. China's economy is still cratering.
Uh... have you checked the news lately? https://www.wsj.com/articles/china-growth-beats-expectations... "China’s economic growth held to a 6.4% rate in the first three months of the year as factory production picked up significantly amid signs authorities worked forcefully to stabilize business following months of weakness." If Apple isn't doing well in China it isn't because of the economy.

Removing China for a company that depends strongly on sales in China may not be a very sound analysis.

Keep them in your ears or in the case and the probability that you'll lose them will be pretty close to zero.
Unless they fall out of your ears, which has happened to me when jogging a few times.

I've been seeing so many recently in public transport, worn by the sort of people I wouldn't expect to be Apple customers, that I distinctly remember wondering a couple of days ago whether cheaper knock-offs had been released in the Android world.

The AirPods are the one thing I actually lose (and I've lost a number of times). But I always manage to find them eventually. The fact that I can't send a sound to them (somehow) when the case is closed is moderately insane. All it can tell me is that they were somewhere near my house when I last used them. That doesn't help me understand where they went to after I put them back in the case and misplaced the case.
