Wireless \/ Bluetooth headset is the best partner with iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, the main reason is that the new iPhone phone canceled the headset interface. But buy new mobile phone users is really a headache for a long time: the delivery date Apple Wireless Headset AirPods, postponed from October to December, after a delay of more than 2 months, in Beijing last night officially shipped. Last night under the official website, the receipt date is about 21, 22 days in December. As of press time, the delivery date has been more than one month after the order.
What caused the AirPods to postpone the shipment for so long? Now there are two kinds of speculation:
1) technical defectsBecause the AirPods is two split Bluetooth headset, and the connection between each phone is independent, so as to ensure that if it has been no electricity after the other can be normal use, such as the phone call. "The Wall Street journal" quoted informed sources, because this setting, the two headphones are sometimes not synchronized, resulting in sound distortion.
If in accordance with this argument, the delay in the delivery of this period of time apple is mainly to solve this problem. But surely the solution may not be open all has good production AirPods and back, but the development of a situation can improve the firmware upgrade, wait until after the completion of the development and sale of.
But Apple Information blog Daring Fireball author John & middot; Gruber (John Gruber) refuted this claim. Most tests for earlier versions of AirPods's media did not find similar problems. Of course, Gruber news is not all right, this argument can be confirmed, but ten days later to get new users first boot, the need for a major firmware upgrade.
2) W1 chip capacity climbing problemW1 is Apple's new generation of wireless headset for the development of the chip, a large part of the technology from the 2013 acquisition of the chip company Semiconductor Passif. In addition to low power consumption only to general wireless chip 1\/3, which improves the sound quality, remove the noise, enhance the function of connection performance.
Wireless headset W1 chip with more than AirPods, in fact, in September the apple conference declared a total of four models, the other three are: Beats Solo3 Wireless, Powerbeats3 by Dr. Dre Wireless and BeatsX. Among them, the first two Solo3 and Powerbeats3 since the release, has been in Apple's official website began to sell for a long time.
These two products are located in the family, the past belongs to the best-selling Beats. In this way, Apple's existing capacity to provide the W1 chip, the majority of the possibility of the supply of these two best-selling models is not small.
And BeatsX and AirPods form and function is similar, for the same category of products for the time being. Prior to the apple to BeatsX consumers to send the message that manufacturers do not know when it will ship, and the latest news shows that the BeatsX delivery date has been delayed to February next year.
That is to say, after the existing production capacity to supply the best-selling models, priority and apple to Dizi AirPods, BeatsX to the next row. This is not to say that W1 encountered serious production problems, but that there may be obstacles to climbing capacity, as well as internal Apple has its own supply chain resources priority.
Anyway, at least in December 21, 22, iPhone 7 users finally have a new way to prove the dignity of the new.
