Since Steve Jobs took hold of Apple the company has skyrocketed. The share values have increased to 1 trillion dollars. They have successfully released iphones and now have started to release other electronic products as well which have successfully added to the value of the company. They have always stayed at the front end of the technology and came up with new ideas and ways to impress their customers. Just like they did when they first introduced iphones and heavily took over the market. A lot of different companies follow suit. Their products make way for other companies to come up with their own products that are directly influenced by the Apple itself.
Apple Airpods is one of its kind electronic listening device by Apple. It was launched on December 13, 2016. Their second generation was released in March 2019. The Apple Airpods are wireless Bluetooth earbuds that don’t have a wire connecting the two speakers instead they are disconnected and come in two pieces. The Airpods have lots of cutting-edge features such as noise cancellation, automatic play/pause, a built-in microphone, and a built-in tap button for calling Siri.
