Harry good articles follow whether the launch of Airpods can set off a new wave of technological innovation. The following is important information about Airpods:
1. Release date, price and specifications
product will be released at the end of this month. The current online reviews are mainly done at Apple's autumn new product launch conference, and there is no in-depth test yet.
domestic market price 1288 soft sister coins, Hong Kong bank 1288hkd.
This is the first "headphone" designed by Apple. The official website describes this product as: wireless, free of cumbersome - rewrites everyone's feelings about using headphones.
AirPods are powered by Apple-designed W1 chips and are equipped with optical sensors and dynamic acceleration sensors. When answering incoming calls or talking to Siri, the additional acceleration sensor can cooperate with the beamforming microscopic wind, filtering background noise and centrally receiving voice. The extremely low-power W1 chip can effectively manage battery life, and with just one charge, AirPods can provide what Apple claims to be the "industry-leading" 5 hours of listening time. Plus, the charging case can store multiple additional charges, which is enough to take more than 24 hours to only place it in the charging case for 15 minutes, providing 3 hours of listening time.
Simply put, the current function implemented by Airpods is the Bluetooth headset +Siri smart tool.
2. Is it easy to drop
After a round of online spoofs, even Cook came out to reflect that the user was overly worried. Do you remember that Jobs said that users need to use the correct gestures to use their phones?
According to the latest media reports, it is very likely that everyone is too worried about the issue of easy drop in Airpods. But just as the earbuds are forgotten to pick them up on the plane at any time, in many practical application scenarios, as long as the user takes off the Airpods, he will probably forget to pick them up, and he will probably lose one of them.
Don't worry. Apple has always understood how to make money. According to reports, Apple may consider selling a single headset, but the specific price of a single Airpod is unknown.
3. Reflections from American consumers
Waiguoren is full of jokes about the "courage" proposed by Apple. According to a U.S. survey, about 12% of U.S. consumers say they are interested in buying AirPods. Some people think that the appearance is ugly and the cost-effectiveness is not high. The 12% ratio may seem very small, but if calculated based on the U.S. population, 12% of people who buy it means that they can bring up to about $3 billion in revenue to Apple.
At the same time, the survey shows that only 8% of people are interested in buying Apple Watch Series 2, and their sales are worrying. And according to market research firm IDC, the sales of Apple Watch fell 56.7% last quarter compared to the same period last year, sounding the alarm for Apple's smartwatch business. Apple urgently needs to open up a new "wearable device" field through Airpod (see Harry's good article "Airpods are expected to become a weapon that Apple regains its technological trend in the Cook era"
4. Airpods exclusive OEM and business opportunities
AirPods are from Taiwan Province Yingyeda (2356) exclusive OEM. Harry Haowen specially took a screenshot of the stock price of Yahoo, a screenshot of the weekly chart of the stock price:
can exclusively receive orders for this pioneering product, which is expected to stimulate the stock price. Regarding the order news, Yingyeda is particularly low-key and does not want to talk more. Guo Taiqiang, chairman of Zhengwei (2392), said, "Wireless is definitely a trend." Although Zhengwei does not have OEM AirPods, it has a close cooperation with Beats and is planning to develop New business opportunities, and the president of Xiaomi , which is preparing to cooperate with Xiaomi to launch Xiaomi piston headphones, Xie Guanhong also bluntly said: "The opportunity is here!"
Airpods is currently criticized by the market, which is the opportunity of other manufacturers. Apple has personally taken action this time and has created a blue ocean of ear-wearing equipment. As more and more manufacturers join, I believe that in the future such devices will be smarter, cooler and more friendly at the same time.
In addition to this, there are many business opportunities for Airpods peripheral products, such as this:
4. Is Airpods worth buying?
If it is not particularly sensitive to price, I hope to find someone to recommend iPhone Bluetooth headsets. When making such consumer decisions, one thing needs to be considered: Compared with all Bluetooth headsets on the market, Airpods is also a smart device (although only the Siri evocation function is available at present, it will open up a broad imagination space with the update and iteration of Apple's software). This is similar to the iMac 5k. Users spent a good price for a 4k screen, and Apple also gave a computer. If consumption decisions are considered from this perspective, Airpods is the best feature-ready among all Bluetooth headphones, but it is not necessary.
This product has great and far-reaching significance to the industry because it is leading the innovation of technology. As mentioned above, with the addition of other manufacturers, I believe that similar products after Airpods will gradually emerge, providing users with more diversified choices.
