The technology company showed off what it calls “AirPods” last month during a launch event for the iPhone 7 smartphones. The iPhones went on sale in late September, and Apple had said the AirPods would go on sale in late October. Apple’s decision was widely debated by users, many of whom felt that wireless headphones were less convenient and practical than their wired counterparts. Wireless headphones need regular charging and the tiny AirPods could fall out and, without the wire as a lifeline, easily get lost. The decision to delay the launch of the “magical” $159 wireless headphones comes the day after Apple reported its first decline in annual sales and profit in 15 years.
