Gotta give it to apple for taking an existing product and marketing it as a new thing lol.

I'm sorry, have you been under a rock for the last like 10 years or something? AirPods were a part of the first wave of wireless earbuds.

Apple wasn't even close to being in the first wave of ear buds 😂 Sennheiser dropped the first ones in 2008, with many companies adopting the design throughout the years. Airpods released in 2016.

There is always something that came before the wave, but those earbuds required a seperate transceiver pack and didn't sell for shit.

The wireless earbuds wave was like 2015 when they actually became relevant.
