Technology has always tried to improve itself year after year, and we can definitely say it has gone through miles of improvement. From simple tools to completely complex gadgets that operate like simple tools, we were able to shape and mold our society based on the visions and imagination that technology allowed us to. Without the wheel, there'd be no transportation, and without science helping it along its way, technology would have never reached where it is today. Nowadays, technology continues to evolve by looking for ways to make life simple for the common consumer. This can come in many forms, but the one that seems to be experiencing a lot more attention recently is the transition from wired technology to completely wireless.

In an attempt to make your life easier, Apple has come up with a pair of wireless earbuds that sync up to any Apple device. Once it does that, it's synced up to all your apple devices, making things simpler for you to use without having to constantly sync and un-sync your devices. Despite them having experienced a lot of delays upon their release with the iPhone 7 as well as the comments on their design, they've become a lot more popular and have been one of the triggers in the sale of the economy of wirelerss technology.
According to BGR, the sales of these AirPods were the reason for a rise in the sales of other wireless headphones over the holidays of 2016. Even nearing the release dare of the AirPods, the sales of wireless headphones noticed a massive spike around Black Friday, just before their debut. Apple has once again done quite well for itself as they have received more than a 25% share of the wireless headphone market, causing the AirPods to be significantly more popular than more common brand names for headphones, such as Bose and Beats. Even if they do have an awkward design and have gone through quite the amount of delays, the AirPods have done a lot better than many of us thought they would.
